These programs are an enormous waste of money. I took a geographic profiling course during undergrad expecting an interesting application of GIS and statistics.

These programs are an enormous waste of money. I took a geographic profiling course during undergrad expecting an interesting application of GIS and statistics. It turned out to be a lot of handwaving to come to the obvious conclusion that most crimes are more likely to occur in some areas than others, along with the offender's residence. It was taught by a former FBI agent, and his academic acumen was very...disillusioning.
