  • Criminal profiling in law enforcement

    Scenario: You are an intern assigned to a special agent for your state’s investigative bureau with a specialty in criminal intelligence. A representative for the Governors Office would like you to write a paper explaining how someone who is not a forensic psychologist is able to fill the position of criminal profiler in the State Investigation Bureau (SIB).

Create a 35-page paper including such issues as the following: The way the crimes were committed Where the crimes were committed How the victims were chosen The crime type The times the crimes were committed If the offender was/is communicating with the police or other individuals (press, victims family, and so on) The circumstances and condition of the actual crime scene(s) The title page for this paper should include the following information: Charles Green American Intercontinental University Dr. Amy Bronswick Psychopathology and Criminality: CRJS466 February 9, 2026
