To catch a criminal, one must study the behavioral clues left behind by the perpetrator. But what does this investigative process entail and what type of a person is fit for piecing together the crime scene puzzle?

Watch American Military University's recorded webcast event that presented the general principles of Criminal Investigative Analysis (CIA), otherwise known as Profiling. This analysis focused on the perpetrator’s behavior, which in turn reveals certain aspects of his/her personality. A trained investigator can use this technique to link cases in a pattern, include or exclude cases from those patterns, identify likely suspects, and exclude others. These techniques are also useful in developing interviewing strategies. The webcast presented the general principles of Criminal Investigative Analysis, and then examined its use in two types of investigations where it has been particularly useful: arson and serial sexual assault.

The webcast also included a question and answer session.
