Top-down criminal profiling is the AMERICAN form of profiling where the focus is on 'who' committed the crime; this is where profilers look at other cases were the criminal has been caught they look at the convicted criminals behavior, the types of crime the known behavior and the victims and what happened to them and apply it to the crime that they are now investigating as they will look at many similar crimes and find consistent behavior and emotions from the convicted criminals to help them narrow down their search and come up with a initial profile they will then add in bits of behavior, image and other information that they get from witnesses or the victim/s.
