What is criminal profiling?

    Criminal profiling is the process of identifying the characteristics of an offender by means of logic and statistics. Specialists called profilers can help investigators discover clues and leads that wouldn't have been taken into account otherwise. To determine the type of person that committed the crime, profilers use a five-step process which includes victimology, location, crime scene, organization level and pre/post behavior. Victimology is the study of the victim and it can lead to the reason why the offender picked a certain person. The location of the crime, says a lot about what kind of person is the criminal. The crime scene shows a person's behavior, for example the type of weapon used may hint at the profession of the killer. The organization level of the offender shows some character of the criminal and their experience with criminal activity, it can be observed by the planning of actions and thorough cover up. The behavior of a person before and after a crime is directed by their character, so an organized criminal will most likely stalk their victims to gather information about them and a disorganized person will commonly leave the close area of the murder for a couple of months. By applying logic and statistics to these factors, criminal profilers, can gather a lot of information about offenders and help police catch criminals responsible for crimes.

    Profilers abound in crime TV series but there's a lot of skepticism concerning the validity of their theories. I wonder if there are any stats showing the effectiveness of profiling in crime detection.

What is money laundering?

 Money laundering is the process of manipulating illegally sourced founds to make them look as if they were obtained in a regular way. This process is composed of three steps. Placement,  where illegitimate money is converted into assets that seem to be legitimate. Layering, where a large number of transactions occurs useing the illegal money to make it harder to link with the original source. And lastly integration, where the now "clean" money comes back to the criminal from a seemingly legitimate source. There are a number of ways criminals do this.

The new Iphone isn't perfect

      The recantly relesed Iphone came with a life-saveing feature that allows your phone to call emergency services in the case of a car crash. All this is done useing an advanced artifficial intelligence and data from multiple sensors inside the device. Unfortunetly this isn't perfect. There have already been cases where people riding rollercosters were falsely recognised to be in a car accident. At least six 911 calls were recorded at Kings Island amusament park. Apple responded to this situation and explained that this technology works most of the time, but authorities are worried that these fake accident reports may resoalt in someone in need not receving proper attention.     I think that Apples technology is going to save many lives but right now it needs more training. The AI they are useing requires houndreds of thousands of cases to properly recognise car crashes and it will only get better with time. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/i...
