To prepare:

• Review Chapter 4, of the course text, and the other Learning Resources this week. Consider the historical context and evolution of geographic profiling and mapping, as well as its strengths and weaknesses.

Post responses to the following:

• What is your current understanding of geographic profiling and mapping?
• Explain the similarities and differences between past and present geographic profiling and mapping.
• Explain the strengths and limitations of past and present geographic profiling and mapping.

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.
