AN EMPIRICAL TEST OF THE ASSUMPTIONS OF CASE LINKAGE AND OFFENDER PROFILING WITH SERIAL COMMERCIAL ROBBERIES

Case linkage, the identification of crimes suspected of being committed by the same perpetrator on the basis of behavioral similarity, and offender profiling, the inference of offender characteristics from offense behaviors, are used to advise police investigations and, in relation to case linkage,
