Officers simply enter information on these cases and the program attempts to make possible connections to other entered data. (FBI).
Clearly this program increases understanding of criminal typologies because it allows a law enforcement agency to find patterns in behavior across numerous jurisdictions. More so, it is an easy and efficient method of tracking criminals, including sex offenders, especially in cases that have gone unsolved for numerous years. This allows the agency to make educated predictions on future acts and thus increases the likelihood of apprehension. (Turvey).
Modus Operandi Database
Modus Operandi, which means, "mode of operation" is used to describe a criminal's characteristic patterns and style of going about their criminal acts. It is often used in offender profiling as tracking the modus operandi often leads to clues involving the offender's psychology. A modus operandi database merely collects and organizes information on modus operandi, allowing law enforcement agencies to make connections to other agency information.
Conclusion
As can be seen, the use of technology has created great interconnectivity between law enforcement agencies across various jurisdictions. This has resulted in a better understanding of criminal typologies, more success at apprehensions and, in the case of sex offenders, a better ability to enforce each state's unique rules across state lines.
