CONCLUSION
Behavior
reflects personality, and to understand the criminal, the investigator must be
able to detach himself or herself emotionally from the violent offense. There
is a fine line between being detached versus being observant and sensitive to
minute forensic details left by the UNSUB at the scene. Investigators should
recognize offender behavioral patterns such as MO, personation, undoing, and
staging. If investigators approach each crime scene with an awareness of these factors,
they will improve their abilities to solve the equation, Why How Who, and
win the war against violent crime.
