The knowledge of crime is crucial to commit a crime and also it needs skills and capacity to execute the plan of doing it. The criminals are highly skilled and have great knowledge with a sharp mind. They know the skills of doing something extraordinary such as opening the safe with a torch and fast cutting actions. They have a complete team of highly intelligent and talented people. They have a good planner, IT person, technical and mechanical fields person, and a powerful push and heave actions. They know how to cope with the police and find the safe ways where they are safe from the approach of the police. In crimes of multiple murders the target killers are highly skilled and have the knowledge of every weapon and the targets. They have the capacity of doing these crimes and having a concrete plan to hide from the police. So possession of knowledge is needed for the person who leads an offense, as well as the skills and capacity, is required to convert the plans into actions (Weston & Kenneth, 1974, P.106).
Choosing a specific crime to commit and the selection of the method for doing that particular crime is called modus operandi of the criminal. All the criminals do not have the particular modus operandi, however mostly they have unique methods of executions which are classified by their like characteristics. Here we will discuss three significant capabilities of the modus operandi file.
To identify the perpetrator by naming a suspect whose modus operandi of crimes in the past is matching best fits with the facts of the currently investigated crime.
To link an unknown perpetrator with the modus operandi of the crimes happened in the past which is committed by an unknown criminal. The purpose of which was structuring the identity of the unknown from the style and planning of the crimes from several connected crimes.
Storing the data of unsolved cases and arrange them according to the modus operandi of these crimes. It allows the investigators to compare it with the crime technique of the apprehended criminal and the pending criminal cases with the arrestee. The similarity in methods provides information for the identity of the offender, decrease the chances of committing a mistake in suspecting a person of a crime.
