Course Highlight (Courtesy of Wikipedia):

Geographic profiling is a methodology in criminal investigation that identifies the most probable area of an offender's residence based on a series of connected crimes. It integrates both qualitative and quantitative analysis to interpret the spatial behavior of an offender, thereby narrowing down the search area for the perpetrator. Commonly applied to serial murder, rape, arson, bombing, robbery, terrorism, and other types of crimes, this technique significantly aids in prioritizing investigative leads amidst a vast pool of suspects and tips.

• Understanding Offender Patterns: The method not only pinpoints the offender's residence but also provides insights into the crime's nature, such as whether it was opportunistic or if the offender is familiar with the area. This understanding is based on the relationship between the offender's behavior and their non-criminal life.

• Popularity and Use: Geographic profiling is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool in major crime investigations, complementing offender profiling to achieve better outcomes.
