At most crime scenes something is left behind by the perpetrator. It could be a hair strand, a fingerprint, sweat, fibre from their clothing, a shoe print or some other form of DNA. But where no physical clues are visible the offender still leaves hints: it may be the interaction with the victim, the setting, the time. Particularly in the case of serial crime, a modus operandi can be established to aid the investigators in targeting likely suspects and pinpointing the next likely action, location or victim. Modus Operandi takes you step-by-step through the procedures of criminal profiling - the characters, the psychology, the crimes - to demonstrate how today's homicide teams build up behavioural evidence and deduce who was responsible for a crime.
