His enriching of our understanding of the processes by which offenders locate their offences offers new insights into the nature of criminal events with considerable proven practical application. His widely cited “Commuter-Marauder” framework and theory of offender “Domocentricity” are the basis for geographical profiling.
This provides an objective approach to linking crimes to a common offender. His work also reveals the extent and limits of consistency in criminal activity and offers a new perspective on criminal escalation and offence specialisation/versatility.

Canter's approach to understanding offending behaviour as an extension of an offend- er's non-criminal activity provides a psychological perspective on criminological theo- ries such as Routine Activity Theory.
The value of Canter’s approach to research methodology is epitomised in the capability he developed to draw psychological patterns from crimes even though these are activities underpinned by the intent to conceal. This was first set out in the seminal paper with Rupert Heritage on modelling sexual assault (Canter and Heritage 1990).
