Question

Which of the following is a correct statement? A. Profiling has been extensively tested in scientific studies. B. There is very little systematic research on profiling. C. Stories and case studies found profiling helpful to investigators. D. Research on profiling seems to prove its effectiveness.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. There is very little systematic research on profiling

Explanation:

Profiling is the act of assuming a certain behavior or tendencies based on a certain group's unique characteristic

Example of a profiling:

Poor people are more likely to steal than rich people.

Currently, there is very little systematic research that provide conclusions which support profiling. We cannot determine people's tendency to commit crime based on a single characteristic. Most of profiting method that is used by the police department right now are only based on educated guess that is based on major generalization.
