Professor David Canter
Offender Profiling and Investigative Psychology
< Back to WorkshopsThe workshop will be an opportunity to explore some of the basic principles of investigative psychology with a special emphasis on geographical profiling. People unfamiliar with this area are encouraged to explore the extensive website www.i-psy.com and follow up the publications listed there.
The workshop will be run as an exploration of the principles behind newly developed software that combines the multi-dimensional scaling analysis of criminal behaviour with the geographical, journey to crime analysis of crime locations.
The workshop will thus deal with:
- Criminal Differentiation and Consistency
- The Radex Structure of Criminality
- Consideration of linking the crimes of serial offenders
- Principles of Geographical Profiling
- Approaches to Investigative Decision Support systems
No prior knowledge of any of this work is assumed, but attendees will get more from the workshop if they read some background papers available through the above website. If they cannot obtain these readily they should contact C.lloyd@liverpool.ac.uk and request papers for the workshop.
There will be the possibility for examination of a limited amount of data/crime information provided by participants if this is made available in an appropriate format prior to the workshop. Anyone wishing to have their material considered at the workshop should contact Professor Canter as soon as possible at canter@liverpool.ac.uk.
