Data di messa in onda: Gen 25, 2025

You've surely seen geographic profiling in some movie or series, but perhaps you're not familiar with the actual term. A very simple and objective definition is found in Chapter 6 of the guide Mapping Crime: Principle and Practice by researcher Keith Harries, made for the US Department of Justice: "Geographic profiling is an investigative methodology that uses the location of a connected series of crimes to determine the most likely area in which an offender lives". But how is it done? What are the less obvious uses? Has it already been used in history? On to the episode! Recording Team: Tarik Fernandes, Marcelo de Matos, Cezar Antônio, Glaucia Souza Silva, Lennon Ruhnke, Vinicius Trevisan.
