100

Any account that suggests physical or psychological behaviour is determined by the Nervous System. 

What is a Neural Explanation?
100
A form of data-driven profiling based on the principle of spatial consistency- that an offender's operational base and possible future offences are revealed by the geographical location of previous crimes

What is Geographical Profiling?

100

The term for a behavioural and analytical tool that is used to accurately predict characteristics of offenders

What is Offender Profiling?

100

The type of offender profiling that is supported by this evaluation: Canter analysed 100 killings and found that there was a cross-over in behaviour and these behaviours matched the behaviours of the FBI's characteristics for Organised Offenders

What is the The Typology Approach

100

The main theory Canter developed for Geopgraphical profiling

What is Circle Theory?

200

The definition of a Genetic Explanation

What is any account that suggests that a physical or psychological behaviour is determined by genes?

200

The definition of Investigative Psychology

What is a form of data-driven profiling that matches details from the crime scene to typical offender behaviour based on psychological theory?

200

The two categories for offenders used in the Typology Approach

What are Organised and Disorganised offenders?

200
One limitation of the Data-Driven Approach

What is that it Automates racism as it unfairly targets minorities through predictive policing. The structure is based on historical data that is from a more racist time and perpetuates stereotypes?

OR

What is that it can only link to cases that have been solved and tells us little about the cases that are harder to solve or have not been solved?

200

The name of sexually-motivated killer who was used by the FBI to make the Typology Approach

Who are Ted Bundy or Charles Manson?
300

The part of the brain that is commonly found to be different in offenders

What is the prefrontal cortex?

300

The two types of killers in terms of Canter's "Circle Theory"

What are the Marauder and the Commuter?
300

!Daily Double!

The definition for an Organised Offender

What is and offender who shows evidence of planning, specific victims and often has higher intelligence and sexual/social competence?

300

The reason that twin studies is a limitation for Genetic Explanations

What is the fact that twin studies assume equal environments, which is not often the case for DZ twins and sometimes the case for MZ twins?

300

The amount of twin pairs looked at by Karl Christiansen to examine concordance rates of offender behaviour


+200 -200 leeway

What is the number 3500?

400

The two genes identified to associate with violent behaviour

What are MAOA and CDH13?

400

The explanation behind the Canter's "Circle theory"

What is the belief that the geographical location of murders will reveal a centre of operation that the killer operates from and allows for location of the killer's base?
400

The 4 stages used to construct an FBI profile


(+20 for every stage defined)

What are Data assimilation= Reviewal of evidence

Crime Scene classification= Dis/Organised

Crime Reconstruction=Hypothesis on Sequence of events 

Profile Generation= Hypothesis on likely offender characteristics

400

The amount of murder cases that were used to support Canter's 'Circle Theory' as it showed that murders can generate a centre of operations

+5 or -5 leeway

What is the number 120?

400

The reason why Samoff Mednick's work with Danish adoptees was important for genetic explanations.

What is the fact that it supports the Diathesis-Stress model?

500

The percentage concordance rate found in MZ twins for offenders in the Danish study

+5% or -5% leeway

What is 35%?

500
The 3 factors that Investigative Psychology use in Crime Scenes to identify patterns and characteristics of the offender


(+50 points for each factor that is correctly explained)

What are Interpersonal Coherence= How the criminal behaves with his victims compared to people in everyday life

Time and Place= Identifies a work schedule and a possible living location

Forensic Awareness= How aware is the criminal on forensic examination of crime scenes

500

The amount of killers that were interviewed by the FBI's BSU to construct the Typology Approach's Framework
+2 or -2 leeway

What is the number 36?

500
The type of determinism that applies to one of the spreads as a possible evaluation

What is Biological Determinism for the genetics spread as it suggests behaviour is innate and uncontrollable?

500

The research Gary Copson did in the evaluation extra that supports the Data-Driven approach

What is the fact he surveyed close to 50 police departments and found that 83% of cases claimed the approach to be useful?
