A Hopeful Rubicon: The Logic within Criminal Profiling

Abstract

In this paper, I will discuss the meaning behind Dr. David Canter's and Dr. Donna Young's new purposed 'mathematical' way of profiling a crime scene with 'A->C' equations, how I believe this method can be expanded and improved for both law enforcement and academics alike, and in what ways this mathematical way of profiling can be incorporated into Keppel and Walter's research to create a method of profiling which is both quick and easy and which will also open a new research-inviting area of study.
