Answer: Well, Im not in law school or college but Criminology is just like Psycology. Take a first-time killer for example, which after each murder (strangulation for example) puts the Lucifer pentagram on the body of each victim. The way the person was killed is the MMO. Motives, Means, and Opportunity. the way they killed the person, that will be their 'signature'. If a new victim comes up with the same signature and mmo, that will rank the murderer a serial killer. many people kill because they dislike the person, or are mentally ill. in the line of duty like fbi and homicide detective, they always try to understand exactly why the person did this. was it revenge? robbery gone wrong? copycat serial killer? (copycating is where you take a serial killer from the past and recreate their signature and mmo. if that serial killer isnt already dead or in prison, it might be thought that person has come back). all of this comes down to one word:
<h2>
profiling </h2>
since criminology is just the basic study of criminals and people and to why they do things, it will always be used in law enforcement and first responders.
i hope this helped!
