Read the following pasage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

correct answer to each of the questions

From 1940 to 1956, a man called George Metesky set off bombs in places like movie theatres and train stations all over New York City A psychiatrist named James A Brussel was called in by the police to

help He used crime scene photos and others from the bomber to profile the criminal doing the bombings

He assured the police that the man was middle-aged, unmarried, and a skilled mechanic from

Connecticut

This was an example of criminal profiling Profiling is used when a criminal's identity is unknown

Based on profiling, a psychological sketch of the person is created This sketch helps the police more

easily find him or her It Is an essential tool for the police trying to solve major crimes Profiling has been used for a long time to help the police

Profilers are not police officers They are experts who create criminal profiles for the police They use

the crime scene evidence and psychology to write about the suspect They can't tell who the person is, but they can tell the police what kind of person to look for To be a profiler, one needs a degree in

psychology, criminal justice, or behavioral science Profilers sometimes work in police departments and

sometimes they are independent workers

Profiling is especially effective in cases of repeated crimes, like serial killers The profile tells the

police what the killer may act like It also tells the police what kind of person the killer may target next

and where it might happen That way, the police can prevent further crimes Profilers can learn a lot about

a criminal's habits from the evidence they leave behind

All of this is impressive, but not everyone agrees with profiling Some say it's just a guessing game It

may not always work, but profiling methods have improved over time Today's profilers are much better than previous profilers They can create better profiles thanks to decades of knowledge and experience

Even if their information isn't perfect, it's still a great help to the police

museum where the art and the building are part of one person's private collection Gardner was a collector

of art who acquired many pieces on her travels to Europe She eventually opened her museum to the

public so she could share her art with the world

Two thieves disguised as police officers knocked on the museum's door late at night on St Patrick's

Day Because of the holiday, there were festivities all over the city The "police officers" told the two

guards that there was a problem outside Once inside, one of the "police officers" looked at the guards "I

have an arrest warrant for you," he said That's when he put handcuffs on the guards

The thieves stole art from all over the museum During the robbery, they set off an alarm when they

tried to take a Rembrandt off a wall, but they quickly smashed it The thieves finally left the museum 81

minutes later with their stolen art The stolen art included The storm on the Sea of Galilœ by Rembrandt, Landscape with an Obelisk by Flinck, La Sortie de Pesage by Degas, and The Concert by Vermeer The

next morning, workers found the art gone and the guards still tied up They immediately called in the

police and an investigation began

chemical industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her

findings were flawed However, her work was proved by a 1963 report of the President‟s Science

Advisory Committee
