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.
