On the basis of your review of the required course readings, analyze how effective criminal profiling is.
Explain this character's portrayal of profiling and whether it is reflective of actual profiling techniques that you have found in the literature or whether the character's profiling is unrealistic and not based on commonly accepted and practiced profiling techniques.
