Behavioral Analysis - Criminal Profiling in Non-Familial Child Abduction Investigations

July 23, 2025 | 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM CT

Develop the ability to assess the behavioral elements of a child's disappearance in relation to abductor profiles. Analyze the typical traits, motivations, and behaviors of non-familial child abductors. By applying general knowledge of these behavioral patterns along with circumstances of the abduction, better direct your investigations towards the likely suspect profile. This method is designed to construct a profile of an unknown offender and, in cases with suspects, to focus the investigation on the most likely offender.
