Interpretive
What is the most important thing you've gained from this experience? Why?
I learned so much on my topic and law enforcement on the municipal level. I've also learned what it really means tor protect and serve and what that job entails. My mentor taught me to have courage and stand my ground when I know what's right and wrong. He gave me the strength to handle some personal problems as well and has made a huge impact on my life. He actually helped me make one of the biggest decisions in my life and I am beyond grateful.
Applied
How has what you've done helped you to answer your EQ? Please explain.
The main thing I've learned from all of my research and both my mentors is that the best way to understand a criminal is to learn about their victims. My mentor put that into perspective and showed me how to apply it to my project and different cases.

Blog 21: Exit Interview

1. What is your essential question, and what are your answers? What is your best answer and why?
What is most vital for a profiler to perform an accurate analysis? My best answer is my answer 2: The victimology report is vital to the accuracy of the profile because the way to find and understand an ENSUB is by learning about his/her victim(s). I believe this is the best answer because throughout all of my research the one main consistent thing is that the way to learn about a criminal is by learning about their victims.
2. What process did you take to arrive at this answer?
I originally had it as my number one answer but then I found more information suggesting the accuracy of this answer and I wanted to do further research on it before i officially submitted it. I read the victimology reports from separate profiles and was able to draw more information from it than from the same process with any other component.
3. What problems did you face? How did you resolve them?
I was faced with the small amount of actual profiles to do the process mentioned in #2. I used profiles on bombers and rapists and didn't remain confined to serial killers.
4. What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?
I used the Jack the Ripper profile written by Special Agent Douglass as it was an original federal document from the first generation of profiles generated. I also used Crime and Victimology written by Ann Burgess which is a journal published by a professor who has worked with some of the most renowned detectives.
