Tóm tắt	Geographic profiling is a spatial analysis method used in forensic investigation to locate offenders based on the locations of their crimes. Developed by David Canter in 1994, it combines geostatistics, probability theory, and crime pattern analysis to identify high-probability crime origin zones. The method has been widely adopted in law enforcement agencies across North America and Europe.	Crime linkage analysis is a forensic method that determines whether a series of crimes were committed by the same offender based on behavioral and modus operandi (MO) similarities. Developed systematically by Craig Bennell and colleagues in the early 2000s, crime linkage applies statistical and similarity-matching techniques to establish offender attribution. The method is essential in serial crime investigation, where establishing linkage enables consolidation of investigation resources, geographic profiling, and offender-focused surveillance.
