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.
