Topic 1: Profiling involves allowing the physical evidence to reveal to an investigator what behaviors occurred, then thinking about what was intended by the commission of those behaviors. It has been proven time and time again that the majority of investigators are chronically unable to overcome their own perspectives and biases when faced with one or more disturbing violent crime scenes. How do you feel the investigative community can overcome these negative outcomes?
Topic 2: Discuss, in detail, how technology has evolved over the past 20 years in regards to criminal profiling and forensic science, and the way it is being used successfully today by law enforcement.
Citations/References: You must use APA 6th edition style for citations and reference listings.
