TL;DR: Some of the important consistencies in commercial burglary behaviour are revealed, which have theoretical value in helping to explain criminal activity and practical value by providing the basis for a diagnostic tool that could be used in comparative case analysis.

TL;DR: Crime scene data from 112 rapes were analyzed to provide empirical support for a composite model of rape consisting of four behavioral themes as different expressions of various intensities of violation and suggest that stranger rapes may be less about power and control than about hostility and pseudo-intimacy.

TL;DR: In this article, the task of predicting personality characteristics from crime scene actions relies on a model that is nomothetic, deterministic, and nonsituationist, which relies on behavioral consistency across offenses and stable relationships between configurations of offense behaviors and background characteristics.

TL;DR: In this paper, a logistic regression analysis is applied to examine the degree to which various linking features can be used to discriminate between linked and unlinked burglaries, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis is then performed to calibrate the validity of these features and to identify optimal decision thresholds for linking purposes.

TL;DR: The results indicated that strategy complexity was not positively related to accuracy, and this was also found to be the case across tasks that ranged in complexity (where complexity was determined by the number of crimes used to make a prediction).
