I could find a Murder Conspiracy at the Church Picnic!

To have a full insight on the criminal profiling, let’s take a look at a criminal intelligence system which  is a vital resource for crime control. It enhances the effectiveness of an agency’s component law enforcement arms thus, contributes to a more productive exchange of information among law enforcement organizations. Strategic intelligence analysis serves a broad spectrum of crime control needs both within and without the agency; internally in the areas of planning, the allocation of resources, and the development of sound law-enforcement strategies; and externally in responding to requests for crime trend analysis.

A vital criminal intelligence system involves compiling data that is used primarily to react to immediate investigative needs. Bear in mind that lack of a fully developed strategic and tactical intelligence capability seriously hinders the ability of a law enforcement agency to accurately measure and prevent organized, serious crime within its jurisdiction, or  anticipate crime threats that can significantly affect the jurisdiction from without.

The intelligence process encompasses a series of interrelated functions which includes:

1. Planning the intelligence effort, often involves the setting of priorities and specific requirements for collection of information;

2. Directing the intelligence effort, usually by management, in accordance with agreed plans or guidelines;

3. Collecting pieces of information from various sources;

4. Evaluating that information as to its accuracy and usefulness;

5. Collating or systematically organizing the information for storage and retrieval;

6. Analyzing the information to determine its meaning in reference to a criminal investigation or assessment;

7. Disseminating or reporting the findings of the analysis;


Criminal intelligence refers to the holdings of information on known or suspected persons involved in criminal activity or the conclusions resulting from the analysis of criminal data and information collected on persons known or suspected of being involved in criminal activity, whereas, tactical intelligence affords direct and immediate support to investigative activity. This immediately usable information has been quickly retrieved from manual files or computer databases and has not been subjected to comprehensive analysis. Name checks, identifiers, criminal histories, criminal associations, and street prices for drugs are typical items of tactical intelligence. Strategic intelligence provides an overview of the scope and character of criminal activity, contributing to the development of effective strategies (e.g., prevention, containment, attrition, or displacement) to reduce the harmful economic and social effects associated with one or more categories of criminal activity.


Law enforcement agencies are content with knowing the statistical probability of crimes happening based on where and when these crimes have previously occurred. Statistics only allow management to set goals for crime prevention. “Revictimization” (repeat crime) studies illuminate the “hot spots” in the crime map. Through analysis of reports, the crime intelligence analyst creates a profile of each known offender, the offender’s MOs (style of entry, day of the week, time of day, choice of goods to be burglarized, fencing outlets), his or her associates, and the associates’ MOs. For example, combining the mapping of burglary incidents with a knowledge of suspects’ activities builds up a more meaningful analysis of burglars’ crime patterns.


“(…)Intelligence is a management tool. It is meant to facilitate planning, decision-making and policy development. One of the best reasons for intelligence is that it serves to systematically look ahead to develop a set of  alternatives with which to meet unforeseen or dimly lit future eventualities.(…)”




In dealing with hyper-sensitive crime investigations, enforcement, intelligence, planning, evaluation — and, indispensably, top management — are key players in reinforcing interaction. Top management plays its traditional role of planning, goal setting, and policy making, while day-to-day tactical decision making remains with field enforcement managers. The aim of top management is to orchestrate the enforcement effort in accordance with overall crime control strategy. Improving responsibility for immobilization of designated targets is the touchstone of success.

Dark Side: Some Kind of Justice From Behind The Grave

Some pathologists, usually those not normally concerned with criminal and litigious cases, claim that an autopsy report should be a bare recitation of the physical findings, with no discussion or interpretation of the significance of those findings. This is an abdication of the pathologist's responsibility because, especially in criminal deaths, it is these condusions that are of most interest and use to che investigating officers, lawyers and courts. After the detailed description of the external and internal appearances, a short resume should be offered of the major positive findings and their relationship to the cause of death. In many cases this will be obvious, as in a gunshot wound of the head. Matters such as the probable type of weapon, the range, the direction and the likely rapidity of death, however, should also be discussed. When the findings are less clear cut, or are multiple, then the alternatives should be discussed, giving a differential diagnosis of the cause of d...

Methodology in Language Learning: The Ehrman & Leaver Construct

The complex pattern study has an elaborate underlying theoretical construct and has undergone extensive field-testing and validation at the Foreign Service Institute. Therefore it represents a serious attempt to reconceptualize cognitive styles in the service of language learning and warrants a closer inspection. The E&L Construct, as Ehrman and Leaver have named their new system, is similar to Riding’s theory in that it reorganizes a number of established style dimensions under a new, comprehensive, and parsimonious construct. However, unlike Riding’s taxonomy, here only one superordinate style dimension is provided, with the two poles labeled ectasis and synopsis. The main difference between the two extremes is that an ectenic learner wants or needs conscious control over the learning process, whereas a synoptic learner leaves more to preconscious or unconscious processing.  The complete system is made up of 10 subdimensions, and many of those are similar to the ones target...

Under the Microscope: The Formation of Adipocere

  Most of the discussion concerning the definitions of death belongs to the field of legal medicine and even that of ethics, rather than forensic pathology. Notwithstanding this, a quick review of this complex problem is appropriate here, as when we come to describe the various post-mortem phenomena, some appreciation is necessary of the zero point from which such changes are timed. It is conventional to describe two types of death:      somatic death, in which the person irreversibly loses its sentient personality, being unconscious, unable to be aware of (or to communicate with) its environment, and unable to appreciate any sensory stimuli or to initiate any volunrary movement. Reflex nervous activity may, however, persist, and circulatory and respiratory functions continue either spontaneously or with artificial support so that the tissues and cells of the body, other than those already damaged in the central nervous system, are alive and functioning. ...
