(2004) “A multivariate model of stalking behaviours.” Behaviormetrika, 31.2: 1–18.Canter has led the way in showing how personal and societal mechanisms interact to influence particular patterns of offending, opening up new and focused aetiological perspectives that account for detailed differences in the manifestations of criminality.
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.
After studying this chapter, you should be able to: define Investigative Psychology, and explain its use or role. identify and explain the ten classes of operational question used by investigators. explain the concept of 'profiling equations', and how these are used to make inferences about crimes.
