profile

For this task, you will submit a detailed description of a fictions  crime and focus on the crime scene. Be sure to conduct research to  understand crime scenes. For example, if you are planning to profile a  serial killer, be sure you have researched crime scenes from serial  killers to ensure you are including plausible information. You must be able to make conclusions that are  realistic. Include in your description the following information:

Crime scene details (e.g. bloodstain pattern, finger prints, weapons)

Geographical location(s)

Evidence collected

Eyewitnesses

Corroborating evidence

Modus Operandi

Victim information-remember you are profiling a serial rapist/murder/arsonist so there have been other victims.

Typically, serial killers have three or more victims, serial rapists  typically have two or more victims and serial arsonists have set fire to  three or more dwellings. If there is no evidence or suspicion of prior  victims, then it is less likely to appear to be serial in nature. For  this week, focus on just one of the victims, but as you develop your  theory you will want to connect information from the other crimes  scenes. (You do not need to offer details about the previous or other  victims yet, but it is important to demonstrate that you are able to  connect the victims, such as similarities in appearance, employment or  location.) Include all other pertinent details about the crime scene.
