Criminal Investigative Failures: A Network Analysis
The police investigative function is a key component of the criminal justice system. Wrongful convictions and investigative failures can cause significant and long-lasting damage at all levels of society. These failures are typically the product of multiple interconnected factors, which can be generally grouped into structural, organizational, and personal categories. Using network analysis, we explore the relationships between the causal factors…
Deadly connections: Exploring body disposal patterns in homicides through victim-offender relationships
Group-individual probability confusion: Implications for suspect prioritization in criminal investigations
The journey-to-crime buffer zone: Measurement issues and methodological challenges
The math of serial murder: Understanding victim numbers and series duration
Bayesian Geographic Profiling: A Fundamental Limitation
Geographic profiling is a criminal investigative technique that analyzes the locations of a crime series to determine the most probable area of offender residence. Police agencies employ the methodology for suspect prioritization and information management purposes in serial crime cases. Geoprofiles are probability maps generated by an algorithm that integrates distance decay functions originating from the point pattern of the connected crime sit…

The new detective: Rethinking criminal investigations
Research Summary The clearance rates for murder and other serious crimes have declined significantly for almost 60 years despite significant technological improvements in police investigations. The reasons for this are not well understood. We argue here for rethinking why, what, and how police investigators operate so as to repurpose their work for reducing crime. These changes include improved thinking by detectives to reduce investigative error…
Case rethinking: A protocol for reviewing criminal investigations
Mistakes in decision-making have been identified as the most common type of error in police investigations. Consequently, wrongful convictions and other types of criminal investigative failure may require a complete case 'rethinking,' particularly when new evidence disrupts the existing theory. A rush to judgment resulting in a premature shift from an evidence-based to a suspect-based investigation can produce a number of problematic thinking err…
How Far to Travel? A Multilevel Analysis of the Residence-to-Crime Distance
Challenges in serial murder investigations involving missing persons
Police agencies investigating serial murders involving missing persons face unique challenges. First, some missing persons are never reported missing or are reported missing long after they were last seen. Second, even when they are reported missing, some serial murder victims are not identified as such because police adhere to the theory that they died of causes other than foul play, or are still alive and have simply moved or run away. Finally,…
