Details Assignment:

When you look at television shows and read books, you might often encounter the term modus operandi (MO). This means a method of operating, functioning, or working. When crimes are committed, a perpetrator has an MO. In a 3–5-page paper, discuss in detail the following:
What is the difference between an MO and a signature?
Describe the background of each. For example, what are the driving forces or reasons behind a criminal's MO and signature?
Give an example of both an MO and signature. You may use an actual case, or you may explain the difference with a fictional example.
Avoid using fictional depictions in movies, books, and television as bases for your research on this topic.
Cite any sources using APA style.

Each here is a heading or subheading you will need to have in the paper.

I outlined the paper above and remember you have a video tutorial from me on how to take the topical outline and convert it into a paper outline with the appropriate subheadings. I will be lecturing on this topic on the live chat and to offer more help I have provided an entire research packet that contains real cases and the importance of the signature and MO, specifically the MO, which has over a century of use within policing as a collected source of information with evidentiary value.
