Crime scene profiling is empirically based and has not placed much value on motivation or personality. it does help law enforcement in deciding where to begin knocking on doors and setting up stakeouts.
Crime scene profiling is based on a geographical method of investigating crimes. It is a combination of geography and environmental criminology. It attempts to ascertain the usual residence and hunting grounds of the offender.
Though lacking insight on the motivation or personality of the offender, it allows investigators to zero down on key locations. For example, a crime located near a railroad may indicate that the offender travels around in trains.
This geographical approach involves detailed study of the map of the area, close investigation of crime scenes, recording witness accounts, and finding patterns in criminal activities.
