“…As mentioned earlier, several initiatives in suspect prioritisation techniques based on crime characteristics (Aitken et al, 1995;House, 1997;Karlsson, 1999;Safarik and Jarvis, 2005;Safarik et al, 2002), best guess method (Snook, Wright, House, & Alison, 2006), or a combination of both (Francis et al, 2004) have been developed and successfully used in practice. Nevertheless, the development of a prioritisation technique for practical application in stranger rape investigations is still premature.…”
