To prepare:

• Review Chapter 5, of the course text, and the other Learning Resources this week. Consider your current understanding of criminal behavioral profiling.
• Review the Understanding Executive Dysfunction media, and then consider what constitutes executive dysfunction and what types of behavior to look out for when profiling.
• Review the “Fire Setting: A Case Study” interactive media program, and then use this case study to complete the Discussion.

Post responses to the following, based on the “Fire Setting: A Case Study” interactive media program:

• Select two of the following factors, and then explain how each may have played a role in the crime committed:
  • Executive Dysfunction History
  • Extensive Early Childhood Trauma History
  • Dysregulated Attachment Patterns
  • Co-Occurring Substance Abuse Issues
  • Family Instability

Note: Your posts should be substantial (350 words minimum), supported with scholarly evidence from your research and/or the Learning Resources, and properly cited using APA style. Personal anecdotes are acceptable as part of a meaningful post but cannot stand alone as the entire post.
