Using Behavioural Science to Target Prolific Criminals
17-18 October| The British Academy
9.30am – 5.00pm
Detecting prolific criminals has the potential to pay dividends in terms of cutting crime rates and reducing future victimisation. While forensic science can be used to apprehend these individuals, physical forensic evidence is left at only the minority of crime scenes, and, in some countries, the processing of such evidence is time-consuming and costly. An alternative tool for detecting these offenders is behavioural science. A decade of research has now amassed on behavioural investigative analysis yet there remain challenges to overcome. This conference aims to reflect on progress to date, consider the current challenges facing practitioners, and develop new collaborations through which prolific criminals can be effectively targeted.
