Presentation transcript:

Investigating the criminal mind

Examination of physical evidence  helps determine the who, what, and how of crime Forensic psychiatrists  help determine the why

Clinical vs. Forensic Psychiatry ClinicalForensic Goal Improve patients condition Dissect person’s personality RelationshipTrustingAdversarial DialogueTruthfulCan include attempts at lying and deceit

Role of forensic psychiatrist may include: Assess the role of alcohol and drugs in a defendant’s conduct Determine competency to stand trial Assess a subject’s understanding of reality and responsibility Offer a judgment regarding the suspect’s state of mind at the time of the crime (NOTE: Sanity is ruled on by the court) Create a psychological profile of the type of individual who likely committed the crime

Techniques of assessment of suspects: 1 st : medical history or physical exam—can reveal medical problems that may alter thinking or understanding 2 nd : testing the mind—3 categories Personality inventories: assess subject’s basic personality type; highly standardized and reliable Projective testing—evaluate person’s thought processes; less standardized and more subjective but may help uncover obsessions and fantasies that drive crime (ex. Inkblot exam) Cognitive testing—assess subject’s intelligence and ability to understand his other own behavior (ex. IQ test)

Projective testing Draw a picture Interpret a picture Interpret an ink blot

Techniques of assessment of suspects: 3 rd : interview the subject—investigate areas of concern from earlier tests --Questioning starts out broad gradually becomes more probing --Focus is to uncover motivations --Be cautious of lying and false confessions **controversial techniques= hypnosis and “truth serum” Read case study (“Hypnotizing Kenneth Bianchi,” page 57)

Serial Offenders List common crimes: List possible motives for such crimes: How do serial killers differ?

Suspect kills more than one person at different times and locations with cooling-off periods between the killings. Most often prey on strangers Motives are private and personal (not obvious) “Fantasy” plays large role Definition/characteristics of serial killing: Zodiac Killer

Criminal Profiling Purpose: the profile may not lead to an exact individual, but may help narrow the focus of the investigation Rational behind profiling: behavior reflects personality Descriptors used in profiling: AgeSexRace ResidencyProximitySocial skills Work history Educational level

Linking Criminals Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (VICAP) and PROFILER= FBI databases to help match serial offenders with crimes and profiles
