Criminal and Fraud Offender Profiling
Simon Padgett · 2014
This chapter examines how criminal offender profiling is used as a method of collating various pieces of information and data or intelligence relating to a crime or crime offender. This intelligence is then formulated into a profile that can be used to model future criminals and fraudsters and fraud events as part of an organization's effective antifraud management program. Examination of the criminal mind-set can be used to understand why and how the crime was committed and will assist with establishing the most likely offender at future crime scenes. The goals of criminal and fraud offender profiling are examined as are the procedural steps and profiling challenges.
