    >Criminal investigative approach.
    >Investigators [blank_start]knowledge[blank_end] developed from [blank_start]exposure[blank_end] to multiple cases and their experience of criminal investigations (Canter, [blank_start]2004[blank_end]).

    >Interviews with [blank_start]36[blank_end] convicted serial murderers (conducted by [blank_start]Ressler[blank_end] et al., 1986). Produced [blank_start]typologies[blank_end] of murderers classifies as organised/disorganised/mixed based on crime scene behaviour. Offender characteristics associated with each classification (Jackson & Bekerian, 1997)

    Organised: average high [blank_start]intelligence[blank_end], socially competent, skilled employment, planned - restraints possible.
    Disorganised: little/no preplanning, evidence at the crime scene, below average intelligence, opportunistic (Douglas et al., 1992)

  3. 3PROBLEMS:
    The '[blank_start]Hollywood[blank_end]' effect (Canter & Youngs, [blank_start]2003[blank_end]): loosely formulated [blank_start]theories[blank_end] given extra credibility by being broadcasted in movies, organised/disorganised dichotomy [blank_start]cited[blank_end] in a number of films.

    Stone (2000) reviewed [blank_start]etiology[blank_end] of serial killing, examined biological, social and psychological [blank_start]contributors[blank_end]. No indication to support organised/disorganised dichotomy. Needs careful [blank_start]definition[blank_end] and [blank_start]systematic[blank_end] testing.

    Lack of [blank_start]structure[blank_end] in selection of sample, not random or large. No subsequent test of reliability of [blank_start]dichotomy[blank_end] on other violent offenses/offenders in academic literature.

    Canter (2004): being [blank_start]organised[blank_end] is typical of serial killers as a whole.
