Zusammenfassung:This study examined the organized/disorganized model to determine if support exists for two discrete offender types among a sample of 350 Canadian cases of sexual homicide. Variables related to crime scene characteristics and the offender’s modus operandi were tested using latent class analyses. Results suggest that sexual murderers can be separated into two distinct profiles that share similarities with the organized/disorganized dichotomy in terms of the detection avoidance strategies, control, and type of violence used by the offender. The latent class results show further support for the FBI model in relation to the offender’s approach, sexual acts, and postmortem activities.
