Question:

A weakness of the top-down approach?

Author: (Pippa) Pippa Holloway



Answer:

-Only applied to particular crimes -Makes hypotheses based on evidence left at the scene, this type of evidence best suits murders, home invasions and rapes, however, it struggles with crimes that has not a lot of evidence left behind. -Can be seen with petty theft and arson, not enough evidence to create a profile surrounding the criminal -The approach lacks generlisbaility as it is only applicable to specific crimes
