Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Develop skills in a position. Gain a fellowship. Conduct academic research in a field related to criminal investigation.

Answer: Gaining hands-on experience in a field that will enable you to become familiar with many personality and criminal types is necessary preparation for a profiler. Good choices include law enforcement, working at a prison, or social work.  Since the NCAVC investigates violent crimes, experience with these types of offenses and associated crime scenes is very beneficial if you are looking for a career with the agency.  The FBI may also employ profiling techniques in other settings; for instance, to solve “white-collar” crimes, or to handle hostage situations, so a position which provides experience in these areas can also be beneficial. The International Criminal Investigation Analysis Fellowship (ICIAF) is a selective training program for current law enforcement agents. The experiences offered by the ICIAF are excellent training for those hoping to become FBI profilers. The ICIAF is highly selective, however, and applicants must:  Be sponsored by a Full Fellow of the ICIAF (who completed the fellowship program in the past, along with other specialized training) Be a sworn officer of a national or state police agency Have at least ten years experience in police work Have at least two years experience investigating violent crimes, such as sex crimes and/or homicide Be a highly recognized investigator Have excellent interpersonal skills Whether or not you gain experience in law enforcement, certain kinds of academic research can be beneficial to a career as a profiler. Completing research in areas like criminal behavior, the sociology of crime, or forensics would deepen your knowledge of criminal investigation and be relevant to profiling tasks. You can complete research even at the undergraduate level (for example, by writing a term paper or senior project on criminal investigation). However, an advanced degree in an area like forensic science or behavioral science provides more extensive research experience and is more impressive


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start with the author of the article or chapter you're citing. List the year of publication in parentheses. Write the title of the chapter. Provide information about the book itself. Specify the pages where the chapter or article appears. Close with the location and name of the publisher.

Answer:
If you're only citing a single contribution to an edited volume with multiple authors, rather than the volume itself, list the name of the author of that contribution as the author. Type the author's last name first, followed by their first and middle initials. Separate multiple authors with commas, putting an ampersand before the name of the final author.  Single-author example: "Smith, R." Multiple-author example: "Smith, R., Henderson, P. H., & Truman, I. G." The publication year is the date the book was published, even if the chapter or article you are citing was previously published somewhere else. Type a space after the period following the last author's initial, open parentheses, type the year, then close your parentheses and add another period. Example: "Smith, R. (1995)." Type a space and then include the title of the specific article or chapter you're citing. Use sentence-case, capitalizing only the first word and any proper nouns. Put a period at the end of the title. Example: "Smith, R. (1995). A new story dawns. The next part of your citation will be a bit like you were citing the book directly, and then copied that citation into your citation of the article or chapter. Start with the editor's name, then provide the title of the book in italics, using sentence-case. Do not place a period at the end of the book's title.  Example: "Smith, R. (1995). A new story dawns. Janeway, J. L. (Ed.) Dreaming of other worlds" For multiple editors, follow the same rules as you would with multiple authors. Immediately after the title of the book, type a space and then open parentheses. Use the abbreviation "pp." and type the range of pages where the chapter or article appears in the book.  Example: "Smith, R. (1995). A new story dawns. Janeway, J. L. (Ed.) Dreaming of other worlds (pp. 44-52)." If there are multiple editions, include the edition number in the same parentheses as the page numbers. For example: "Smith, R. (1995). A new story dawns. Janeway, J. L. (Ed.) Dreaming of other worlds (2nd ed., pp. 44-52)." If the book was published in the US, include the name of the city and postal abbreviation for the state, separated by a comma. For books published outside the US, include the name of the city and the name of the country, again separated by a comma. Follow the location with a colon, then type the name of the company that published the book. End your citation with a period. Example: "Smith, R. (1995). A new story dawns. Janeway, J. L. (Ed.) Dreaming of other worlds (pp. 44-52). New York: Independent Press."
