Title: Testing the Effectiveness of Geo-Behavioural Profiling Systems


1
Testing the Effectiveness of Geo-Behavioural
Profiling Systems
Professor David Canter Laura Hammond Director,
Centre for Investigative Psychology The
University of Liverpool,UK www.i-psy.com
2
Study of effectiveness of various prioritisation
strategies
  • 92 offence series
  • in a London borough.
  • All identified series
  • over four years/

Various Models Illustrated from the crimes of
Jack the Ripper

The canonical map
Chapman 8.9 6.00
Nichols 31.8 3.40
Kelly 9.11- 7.00?
Stride 30.9 1.00
Eddowes 30.9 1.45

Two further concepts
  • Criminal Range
  • Decay Functions

The system assigns a priority to each known
offender using various criteria.
Prioritised search area
Offender ID Address Probability MO Match
124 Location A 0.28574311864 0
427 Location B 0.27038233898 0
427 Location C 0.26035169492 0
226 Location D 0.25577861017 0
48 Location E 0.23282991525 0
124 Location F 0.22445984746 0.3
124 Location G 0.21932662712 0
15
Cumulative Percentages of the Rank Achieved
by Actual Offender in Dragnet Prioritization for
different criteria.
  • Criteria
  • Distance from centre of circle defined by 2
    furthest crimes
  • Distance from centre of gravity (centroid)
  • Optimum negative log decay function
  • Negative log decay function with buffer

50 of actual offenders are in the top 5
prioritized just by geographical location. iOPS
allows this to be improved by also using M.O.
matching.

Exponential Function - High B-value 8.86 (8.446) 4
Logarithmic Function -Low B-value 9.04 (8.402) 4.5
Logarithmic Function -High B-value 8.92 (8.350) 5
Centre of Gravity 9.21 (8.256) 5
Logarithmic Function -Optimal B-value 8.95 (8.349) 5
Logarithmic Function with Buffer Zone- Optimal B-value 9.73 (8.674) 5.5
Exponential Function - Low B-value 10.18 (8.411) 7
Exponential Function - Optimal B-value 10.55 (8.461) 7
Exponential Function with Buffer Zone- Optimal B-value 10.61 (8.888) 7
Last Offence 11.11 (8.416) 9
First Offence 11.96 (8.424) 10..5
Centre of Minimum Distance 12.52 (8.066) 14
Centre of Circle 15.15 (7.536) 21
Straight Linear Function 21.00 ( .000) 21

Need for more context specific examination of
crime patterns
  • Taking account of
  • Land use
  • Opportunities for crime
  • Guardianship
  • Targeting
  • Transport routes
  • Temporal sequences
