Jordan and Cristina are intrigued by the mysterious person who assaulted people with falling chairs. They each have some ideas about the case, but they're not in agreement about the best way to think about the case and solve it. Jordan likes a more creative, brainstorming approach to creating a profile. Cristina doesn't feel comfortable straying from facts and hard data.
In the scenario below, you will need to consider these questions as you read:

1. How do law enforcement officers use profiling techniques to generate theories about offenders?
2. Which characteristics of offenders do profiles rely upon?
3. What are some of the models for profiling that law enforcement use?
Scenario:
You are part of an investigative team tasked with creating a profile of a cat burglar. A literal cat burglar. The culprit breaks into houses stealthily at night and steals things, including the family cat. Here are the facts that you have:
1. Six homes have been hit, all within the city limits of Cleantown, but none in the city center. Each of the homes is in one of three wealthy suburbs that surround the city center like a ring. Three burglaries took place in the Spotless suburb, one took place in the Meticulous suburb, and two took place in the Flawless suburb. All three are an easy drive from the city center and reachable via transit.
2. Each home had a security system that was bypassed outside. Power to the system was cut, and so were phone and cable lines. The perpetrator gained access to Homes 1 and 4 using a glasscutter on doors with windows in them. After cutting a hole in the glass, the perpetrator turned the lock from inside. The perpetrator attempted to gain access to the second home this way, but the lock was the kind that requires a key on both sides. The perpetrator then picked the lock using tools; the perpetrator used the same method to gain access to the third and sixth homes. The perpetrator gained access to the fifth home through a sliding glass door using the glasscutter.
3. All six homes had at least one cat living in them, and all cats were taken from every home. None of the cats had special financial value.
4. In five out of six homes, silver was stolen. The silver in the homes was worth considerable amounts of money. In the third home, no silver was taken, but the owners do have silver—it just wasn't in the house that night. Luckily, the owners had taken it to be appraised.
5. In all six homes, photographs of the families were turned over, or in several cases, thrown and broken. No photographs were taken.
6. In all six homes, there were items of great value that were not stolen, but could have been with ease. For example, in five houses the burglar left expensive electronics behind.
7. Every crime scene was neat and orderly. Little forensic evidence has been recovered from any of the scenes. Each burglary took place during a planned absence on the part of the homeowners.
