Description: Seminar, one hour. As crimes have devolved from basic motives such as love and money into sexual gratification and sadism, how are killers whose actions are accumulation of personal fantasies caught? Lying between law enforcement and psychology, profiling, complex art used to narrow down suspect pool, became answer for law enforcement. Profiling has expanded to interactions with media, interrogation tactics, and has given society vocabulary such as serial killer itself. Profiling, however, is not comparable to computer algorithm; it is innately human process. In-depth review of how people become serial killers and if children are born evil.
