Editing Geographic profiling (section)

==Limitations==
Although geographic profiling is a useful tool for assisting investigations, e.g. in prioritizing suspects, like any other models there are certain limitations:
*Benefit in the case of a single crime may be limited.
*It may be most useful against impulsive crimes by impulsive offenders.<ref>Laukkanen, M. M. (2007).</ref>
*It may not distinguish between multiple offenders operating in the same area and following similar modi operandi.
*Although computer systems can be highly sophisticated, they cannot analyze all the information involved in a crime series and they are only as good as the accuracy of their algorithms' underlying assumptions.
*In crimes against lucrative targets the residential location of the perpetrator may be of small significance compared to the location of the target.
