I could find a Murder Conspiracy at the Church Picnic!





To have a full insight on the criminal profiling, let’s take a look at a criminal intelligence system which  is a vital resource for crime control. It enhances the effectiveness of an agency’s component law enforcement arms thus, contributes to a more productive exchange of information among law enforcement organizations. Strategic intelligence analysis serves a broad spectrum of crime control needs both within and without the agency; internally in the areas of planning, the allocation of resources, and the development of sound law-enforcement strategies; and externally in responding to requests for crime trend analysis.

A vital criminal intelligence system involves compiling data that is used primarily to react to immediate investigative needs. Bear in mind that lack of a fully developed strategic and tactical intelligence capability seriously hinders the ability of a law enforcement agency to accurately measure and prevent organized, serious crime within its jurisdiction, or  anticipate crime threats that can significantly affect the jurisdiction from without.

The intelligence process encompasses a series of interrelated functions which includes:

1. Planning the intelligence effort, often involves the setting of priorities and specific requirements for collection of information;

2. Directing the intelligence effort, usually by management, in accordance with agreed plans or guidelines;

3. Collecting pieces of information from various sources;

4. Evaluating that information as to its accuracy and usefulness;

5. Collating or systematically organizing the information for storage and retrieval;

6. Analyzing the information to determine its meaning in reference to a criminal investigation or assessment;

7. Disseminating or reporting the findings of the analysis;


Criminal intelligence refers to the holdings of information on known or suspected persons involved in criminal activity or the conclusions resulting from the analysis of criminal data and information collected on persons known or suspected of being involved in criminal activity, whereas, tactical intelligence affords direct and immediate support to investigative activity. This immediately usable information has been quickly retrieved from manual files or computer databases and has not been subjected to comprehensive analysis. Name checks, identifiers, criminal histories, criminal associations, and street prices for drugs are typical items of tactical intelligence. Strategic intelligence provides an overview of the scope and character of criminal activity, contributing to the development of effective strategies (e.g., prevention, containment, attrition, or displacement) to reduce the harmful economic and social effects associated with one or more categories of criminal activity.


Law enforcement agencies are content with knowing the statistical probability of crimes happening based on where and when these crimes have previously occurred. Statistics only allow management to set goals for crime prevention. “Revictimization” (repeat crime) studies illuminate the “hot spots” in the crime map. Through analysis of reports, the crime intelligence analyst creates a profile of each known offender, the offender’s MOs (style of entry, day of the week, time of day, choice of goods to be burglarized, fencing outlets), his or her associates, and the associates’ MOs. For example, combining the mapping of burglary incidents with a knowledge of suspects’ activities builds up a more meaningful analysis of burglars’ crime patterns.


“(…)Intelligence is a management tool. It is meant to facilitate planning, decision-making and policy development. One of the best reasons for intelligence is that it serves to systematically look ahead to develop a set of  alternatives with which to meet unforeseen or dimly lit future eventualities.(…)”




In dealing with hyper-sensitive crime investigations, enforcement, intelligence, planning, evaluation — and, indispensably, top management — are key players in reinforcing interaction. Top management plays its traditional role of planning, goal setting, and policy making, while day-to-day tactical decision making remains with field enforcement managers. The aim of top management is to orchestrate the enforcement effort in accordance with overall crime control strategy. Improving responsibility for immobilization of designated targets is the touchstone of success.

# 15 Željko Ražnatović

Željko Ražnatović was born on 17 April 1952 – 15 January 2000 and known as Arkan , was a Serbian career criminal and commander of a paramilitary force in the Yugoslav Wars, called the Serb Volunteer Guard. He was enlisted on Interpol's most wanted list in the 1970s and 1980s for robberies and murders committed in a number of countries across Europe, and was later indicted by the UN for crimes against humanity for his role during the wars. Ražnatović was up until his death the most powerful crime boss in the Balkans. He was assassinated in 2000, before his trial. Željko Ražnatović was born in Brežice, a small border town in Slovenian Styria, FPR Yugoslavia. His father, Veljko Ražnatović, served as a decorated officer in the SFR Yugoslav Air Force, earning high rank for his notable World War II involvement on the Partisan side, and was stationed in Slovenian Styria at the time of Željko's birth. He spent part of his childhood in Zagreb (SR Croatia) and Pan...

The Classification of Gunshot Wounds

Gunshot wounds are either penetrating or perforating. Penetrating wounds occur when a bullet enters an object and does not exit; in perforating wounds, the bullet passes completely through the object. A wound, however, can be both penetrating and perforating. Gunshot wounds can be divided into four broad categories, depending on the range from the muzzle to target: contact, near contact, intermediate, and distant. In contact wounds, the muzzle of the weapon is held against the surface of the body at the time of discharge. Contact wounds may be hard, loose, angled, or incomplete . In hard-contact wounds, the muzzle of the weapon is jammed “hard” against the skin, indenting it, so that the skin envelops the muzzle. In hard contact wounds, the immediate edges of the entrance are seared by the hot gases of combustion and blackened by the soot. This soot is embedded in the seared skin and cannot be completely removed either by washing or by vigorous scrubbing of the wound. In...

Instrumental and Expressive Homicides

There are various ways to classify types of criminal homicide. State statutes distinguish between criminal and non-criminal homicides, degrees of murders, and types of manslaughters. Law enforcement agencies often categorize homicides according to the characteristics of the offender (e.g., gang versus non-gang), the victim (e.g., child murders, teen violence, elderly victims), or situational context or attributes (e.g., domestic violence, stranger assaults, drive-by shootings, robbery- murders, road rage, or workplace homicides). Lawyers, social scientists, and law enforcers also classify homicides in terms of motive. Common motives for homicides include trivial altercations, jealousy, revenge, romantic triangles, robbery, sexual assault, burglary, and disputes in drug transactions. The research examines whether instrumental and expressive homicides are qualitatively different in their social context (i.e., combinations of offender, victim, and situational characteristics). We...
