Profiling - d' mindset of a criminal

Special Crimes Division and similarly operating units under prominent law enforcement agencies in more advanced countries have long been organized. The operation more often is focused on information collection, analysis, interpretation of criminal behavioral characteristics and personality profiling which enables them to identify a potential perpetrator even before the progression of a crime. Profiling of a criminal’s way of thinking, behavioral probability analysis and evaluating the criminal mindset offers a higher likelihood of putting a face to an unidentified suspect and may even fit the rightful John Doe to a crime scene.

These units are designed solely to mitigate crimes that require a new system of approach and definitive counter response policies. Units formed to go after organized crimes, high-profile crime groups, trans-national crimes, suicide bombings, in-campus shootings and terror personalities tagged in order of battles are special units or special divisions. These units continue to develop and identify key strategies to combat crimes and continued rebirth of new modus operandi of crime organizations, criminal behavioral prototypes and seemingly criminal minds that endlessly find ways to level off operational strategies and instill unmitigated control over their respective forte.

A case failure constantly stems from the investigating unit’s inability to produce warranted evidence which is most likely sourced out from material witnesses, testimonials, documentary, physical evidences, circumstantial corroborations and those taken from the crime scene itself. In addition, the lack of a sincere follow-through and operational dedication by crime investigators recurrently top the list of the factors resulting to a vast failure in investigation. In broadest terms possible, a distinction between a recurring criminal activity from a serialized crime pattern should be clearly threshed out for a simple reason that two separate incidents with distinct relevance in modus operandi may have been perpetrated by two separate suspects.

A decrease of certain criminal activity may not suggest a conclusive semblance of success in law enforcement. In this junction, law enforcement officers must somehow go beyond the four corners of the library and expose themselves into a competitive system of learning, way past what has to be learned within the box. The old historical notion about the efficiency in crime resolution based on the ratio of apprehension after the commission of a crime should finally be driven off to a checkmate. On its face value, the concept of crime prevention driven with a passion to serve the citizenry without any reservation has never been less crucial in the anti-criminality and law enforcement.
