Document Summary

Can be traced back to david canter, who was asked to provide a profile of an unknown offender, took knowledge of behavior and came up with some accurate conclusions. Investigative psychology investigative psychology is a framework for the integration of a diverse range of aspects of psychology into all areas of criminal and civil investigation. It is concerned with all the forms of criminality that may be examined by the police, from arson and burglary to murder, rape or even terrorism. The discipline also extends to cover those areas of activity that require investigation but may not always be conventionally within the domain of police services. Crime scene behaviour refers to activity that the offender engages in prior to, during, and following the perpetration of an offence. Crime scene analysis then, is the examination and consolidation of this behaviour in order to gain information about the offence and/or offender.
