Crime patterns associated with crime analysis.
Identify and describe four crime patterns associated with crime analysis. Which do you believe would be the most effective in investigating a suspect on a mountain bike who approaches female pedestrians and exposes himself. Four incidents have occurred over a 1-month period and the suspect’s description, bicycle description, and actions are
very similar in all four incidents.
Crime patterns associated with crime analysis
Pattern identification in tactical crime analysis is guided by the distinction between persons crime and property patterns. That is, persons and property crimes are normally examined separately because the characteristics that link persons crimes to one another are inherently different from those that link property crimes. The crimes commonly examined for persons crime pattern analysis are robbery, stranger sexual assault, indecent exposure, and public sexual indecency. In most persons crimes, the victims are also witnesses, so these types of crimes provide analysts with abundant detail about the actions of the suspect, the suspect`s description, and any vehicles involved.
