Over the years, many famous cases have demonstrated how  criminal profiling can be used to assist with an investigation. For this  assignment, complete the following:

  • Choose any one case such as the following well-known criminal cases:
    • The case of David Berkowitz (Son of Sam)
    • The case of Ted Bundy

Using the module readings, Argosy University online  library resources, and Internet resources, research the chosen case.  Respond to the following questions:

  • Describe the information that was gathered about the perpetrator or  offender. This could include the profiler's conclusions regarding the  offender's mental, emotional, and personality characteristics as well as  age, gender, ethnicity, and geographic location.
  • Describe what sources the investigator used, what patterns of  behavior were identified, and what information was given to law  enforcement. State if the information that law enforcement received is  correct.
  • Analyze if the profile was accurate and if it did assist or hinder in the investigation.
  • Explain what factors led to the accuracy or inaccuracy of the profile.

Support your responses giving reasons and examples from 2–4 scholarly resources.

Write a 2- to 3-page paper in a Microsoft Word document. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and  organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate  representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate  spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
