Advancements in computational intelligence and the availability of vast datasets have led researchers studying criminal traits to shift towards predictive models and comprehension. Specifically, researchers are now starting to create models that can assist in predicting individuals who are more likely to commit a crime, as well as interpreting patterns of offending to predict future criminal behavior. Regardless of the type of prediction, it is crucial for researchers to understand the sequence of events that occurred before the crime took place. One method employed by researchers is grouping related behaviors together using a "thematic" or offending style typology approach. These profiles are then intended to aid law enforcement officers in identifying offenders. Initially, the examination of crime scenes revealed a classification of crimes that could be categorized as either organized or disorganized. The organized typology refers to a type of murder carried out by an individual who meticulously plans the crime, specifically targets the victims, and demonstrates a sense of control. On the other hand, disorganized scenes depict a form of murder committed by an offender who is less likely to plan the offense, randomly selects victims, and behaves in a chaotic manner during the crime.
