Rule 1 Careful of your profiling

• The DC Sniper A widely-publicized personality
  profile in the Baton Rouge serial killer case
  suggested that police should expect their perp to
  be a white male. The man arrested and accused in
  the killings is black. In the Washington D.C.
  sniper case, profilers focused on a white male
  loner. The two men arrested there are black.
• In both instances, investigators juggled numbers.
  They also accepted the myth that serial murder is
  an intraracial event. As a result of these and
  other miscues, recent news articles have
  questioned the efficacy of all criminal profiling
