    Criminal Profiling Worksheet

    Forensic and Criminal Psychology – Year 10 Psychology


    You have managed to gather the following information about a crime. Use it to compile a simple criminal
    profile in the table below:

    The criminal was spotted on CCTV driving by the property in the days prior to the attack. He drove an expensive BMW
    with the number plates removed. He always wore a hood and sunglasses that concealed his own identity. The
    perpetrator knocked on the front door of the property immediately after the husband left for work. He was clearly aware
    of the woman's daily schedule from watching her on a daily basis. It is believed that he was able to convince the victim
    to allow him to enter the house for some reason. He took her by surprise in the kitchen and immediately choked her with
    a rope he had brought with him for that purpose. She lost consciousness and he bound her wrists and ankles with zip-
    ties. When she regained consciousness she began screaming, so he reached into his bag for a knife and stabbed her to
    death, inflicting three wounds to the upper chest. The CCTV was unable to capture much that would assist forensic
    officers; however, it does show light glinting off a ring on his left hand. The victims’ home was located in Pooraka. The
    crime scene was left immaculate, without any DNA evidence being left behind. The body was found discarded at the
    Greenfields wetlands with her earrings missing. The victim was 24-year-old Vietnamese woman, Miah Nguyen.
