Tilaushistoriaa

Tilaushistoria is a concept used in criminology and criminalistics to describe the analysis and examination of the relationship between crime scenes and the choice of residence by offenders. The term was first introduced by the Finnish criminologist Hannu Salmi in the 1990s.

The idea behind tilaushistoria is that the act of choosing a particular apartment or house as a site for a crime can reveal information about the offender's personality, background, and behavior. By studying the motility patterns and the choice of residential area, investigators can gain insights into the psychological and demographic characteristics of the offender.

Tilaushistoria involves the analysis of the spatial distribution of crimes, mapping the locations of past crimes and comparing them to the offender's living areas. By identifying patterns and connections between these locations, investigators can infer the offender's movement patterns, social networks, and potential links to other crimes.

The utility of tilaushistoria in improving crime analysis and crime prevention has been demonstrated in several studies, particularly in Scandinavian countries. The technique has also been recognized as a potential tool in telemarketing and other types of preventive crime control.

Critics have pointed out that tilaushistoria is based on inadequate empirical evidence, and that claims about its effectiveness are often overstated. Despite these criticisms, the concept continues to be used and developed in the fields of criminology and behavioral science.
