Criminal profiling and industrial security

Abstract

Criminal profiling' may provide an effective measure for industrial security. While criminal profiling has been frequently applied to support the prevention and investigation of crimes, particularly violent crimes, it has not been applied to industrial espionage. Criminal profiling such as behavioral and investigative data profiling could help to identify the criminals leaking the secrets. The application of criminal profiling may contribute to prevent and reduce industrial espionage. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to attempt to apply criminal profiling to industrial security and eventually prevent and control industrial espionage.
