Matching Crimes Using Burglars' Modus Operandi: A Test of Three Models

Abstract: Brian Ewart lectures in forensic psychology at the University of Sunderland. Formerly with the Home Office Prison Psychological Services, he specialises in the application of psychology within the forensic domain and has published on judicial decision-making, victimisation and predictive systems for burglary. Giles Oatley and Kevin Burn are computer scientists; Giles specialises in the development of software for forensic applications, while Kevin is a specialist in the application of fuzzy logic to real-world… Show more

“…In Markson et al's study, the temporal proximity was second only to the intercrime distance in terms of discrimination accuracy (it outperformed target, entry, internal, and property behaviours), and the combination of intercrime distance and temporal proximity was able to facilitate the greatest level of linking success. These findings are corroborated by studies that have utilized different methodologies (Ewart et al, 2005;Goodwill & Alison, 2006).…”

“…There now exist a number of studies that have examined behavioural case linkage using burglary data (e.g., Bennell & Canter, 2002; Bennell & Jones, 2005; Ewart, Oatley, & Burn, 2005; Goodwill & Alison, 2006; Markson et al , 2010).…”

“…Its course reflects the variation that exists among the criminal population in terms of offending rate or frequency-oftentimes denoted by the Greek lambda (λ) (Blumstein, Cohen, Piquero, & Visher, 2010;Brame, Paternoster, & Bushway, 2004;Francis et al, 2004;Hochstetler, DeLisi, & Puhrmann, 2007;Lattimore et al, 2004;Miles & Ludwig, 2007;Monahan & Piquero, 2009;Odgers et al, 2008;Paternoster, Brame, & Farrington, 2001;Piquero, 2000a;Pollock, Joo, & Lawton, 2010;Ramoutar & Farrington, 2006), persistence/continuity (Blokland, Nagin, & Nieuwbeerta, 2005;Brame, Bushway, Paternoster, & Thornberry, 2005;Ewart, Oatley, & Burn, 2005;Ge, Donnellan, & Wenk, 2001;Mazerolle et al, 2000;Zimring, Jennings, Piquero, & Hays, 2009), and career length or span (Francis, Soothill, & Piquero, 2007;Haapanen, Britton, & Croisdale, 2007;Kazemian & Farrington, 2006;Kazemian, Le Blanc, Farrington, & Pease, 2007;Piquero, Brame, & Lynam, 2004;Piquero & Buka, 2002). Whereas most offending careers are brief, truncated, and intermittent (Piquero, 2004), some are prolonged and essentially life-long.…”

“…Linking offences can be relatively simple if forensic and/or physical evidence is found at the scene (Grubin, Kelly, & Brunsdon, ). However, forensic evidence is often lacking (Ewart, Oatley, & Burn, ; Hazelwood & Warren, ). When this is the case, behavioural analysis may be used to identify a linked series of offences (Bennell & Jones, ; Grubin et al , ; Hazelwood & Warren, ; Woodhams et al , ; Woodhams & Toye, ).…”
