Document Summary
Something we have done for a very long time. What habitat would they be found in. What type of evidence do they leave that you can follow. You can only find a certain class of species. Fingerprints to individualize people - this allows you to specify a single person. When somebody or something has been in a certain place, they can leave evidence of having been there. This is useful because it can leave identifying evidence, or you can reconstruct what happened. The idea that as we navigate our own social worlds, we also tend to engage in profiling. We try to use information about somebody without them giving it to us, to try to learn about them. Anything that can help us learn more about them. (example: what they buy) This typically happens in an airport - they profiling people as to what they are looking for. Who is more likely to be a criminal.
