Detectives Video

If you are a big fan of the TV show Criminal Minds, you would know that the characters are adept at “profiling” the unsub, or unknown subject, who is a suspect in a crime.

Criminal profiling is a high-profile investigative method. People are amazed by it and watch TV news stories about it such as Bodies of Evidence. There are TV detective dramas such as CSI or Criminal Minds built around it. Criminal profiling uses evidence from a crime scene along with other psychological information to indicate the type of person most likely to have committed the criminal act being investigated.

What is the difference between television drama and real-life criminal profiling?

Television drama profiling

As portrayed in media, film, and television, detectives are policemen who work on hunches, while “profilers” are cops whose hunches are elevated to a higher echelon by a conglomerate of geeky science and psychic know how. They show up at a crime scene, put on the rubber gloves, look over pieces of evidence, survey the entire scene, make faces and then blurt out, “the perpetrator is a black guy, in his early 30′s, with black hair, brown eyes, and eats pizza regularly. Let’s catch this guy.”

Many times on television, the “who-done-it” mystery is solved about ten minutes prior to the end of the show just like you see on CSI

Real-life profiling

In contrast to television drama profiling, real-life criminal profiling involves painstaking detective work. It always begins with an analysis of the physical evidence found at individual crime scenes. By using deductive reasoning, the reasoning involved in using specific physical facts to arrive at generalizations, the criminal profiler starts to develop the tendencies and typologies that are characteristic of different kinds of perpetrators.

It is only after careful study of many crime scenes that the veteran criminal profiler can confidently try to rebuild the offender’s behavior at a particular scene. From this reconstruction can the profilers arrive at conclusions regarding the motive for the crime.

No respectable criminal profiler continues to believe in the age-old definition of method of operation (M.O.) that a particular type of criminal act is always and unavoidably the result of the same motive. On the flipside, it can be assumed that a number of motives can result in a particular kind of behavior. Suppose a crime scene investigator comes across a body with its eyes blindfolded. This could indicate that the offender may have known the victim and did not want to be identified.

Many times, criminal profiling can result in the narrowing of a broad list of suspects. Although this is not an exact science, it is an invaluable tool because it permits police agencies to focus more effectively their limited resources. For instance, if the offender is most likely to possess qualities A, B, and C, profilers do not have to look for perpetrators who possess characteristics outside of these qualities.

The next time you watch CSI or Criminal Minds, you will have a better understanding of what real-life criminal profiling is all about versus television drama profiling.

The setting is 2060, New York. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is called to a murder scene involving wealthy businessman Thomas Anders. Apparently, Anders was into kinky sex and liked to be tied up. Well, whoever he was with last, tied him up so tight, that they strangled him too! Looking around the crime scene, Eve notices all of the little things that add up to the fact that Thomas Anders knew his murderer.

The first logical suspect is always the spouse. But Ava Anders has an air tight alibi. She was off on a mini retreat with her girlfriends on a tropical island. So how could she possibly be involved? But certain actions by Ava are suspicious. For instance…when she was informed of the news about her husband’s death, she ordered breakfast to her room and she also did not wake her girlfriends with her horrible news. She only left them a note when she left to go back home. But these actions don’t necessarily mean that she is guilty. No one can judge exactly how a person will react to horrible news.

As with Roberts style, she gives a fair amount of coverage to Peabody, her assistant. Peabody is married to Mc Nab and they are always doing something zany to keep their marriage filled with spark. Roberts also introduces a few new detectives who you can expect to read more of in her future novels.

What can you say about the chemistry between Dallas and her husband Rourke? HOT HOT HOT!!! Roberts leaves no stone unturned to the readers imagination.The steamy sex scenes between Eve and Rourke are explicit and makes you wonder what type of book you are really reading!

This is a must read book! Roberts delves into the world of kinky sex and pulls no punches in including sex toys in the story. A different spin to the Eve Dallas novels and exciting to read!
