Behavioural Trace Investigations Pty Ltd trading as
Behavioural Trace Investigations is a private investigation company that offers specialised investigation support services to clients in the corporate, government, military, and private sectors.
This independent forensic investigation support service is in the form of behavioural analysis products. These products help to identify a person's motivation and personality profile. The resultant behavioural insight is applied to investigations into interpersonal crimes and threatening communications.
The overall purpose of behavioural analysis products is to contribute to investigation outcomes and potentially reduce investigation hours and resources.
Investigations that have stalled or need to acquire investigative focus may benefit from this service.
Behavioural Trace Investigations
is one of few companies in the world to provide forensic profiling services by accredited forensic behavioural analysts. Accreditation is achieved through successful completion of a rigourous training and case experience understudy program delivered by the International Criminal Investigative Analysis Fellowship.
The behaviour analyst identifies and interprets the traces of behaviour present in a crime. These behavioural traces or clues form building blocks for identifying patterns of behaviour that when analysed reveal insight about a person's motivation and personality. The behavioural profile developed from this type of analysis has investigative value in that it can provide valuable direction and focus for investigations, develop fresh lines of inquiry, and prioritise persons of interest.
There are some important points to consider when using a behavioural analysis product:
-
Firstly, every crime contains evidence of behaviour: anything that people say or do. Behaviour is therefore always waiting to be analysed no matter when or where the crime occurred. This is in contrast to forensic evidence, eyewitness statements, or admissions, which sometimes simply do not exist.
-
Secondly, the behavioural analysis process starts with and is wholly influenced by the information gathered from traditional investigative methods. The more comprehensive and accurate the information, the more comprehensive and accurate the behavioural analysis product can be.
-
Thirdly, the behaviour analysis
product is based on probabilities developed through the analysis process. As such the analysis product is not a substitute for a thorough, well-planned investigation; and nor should it be considered all-inclusive.
These specialised services are delivered independently on the undertaking that
Behavioural Trace Investigations' practitioners have achieved the highest professional qualifications and years of extensive case experience in their chosen fields.
