Abstract

Studies on the geographical profile of subjects with incendiary behavior on public roads have not been developed in our country, nor has the effectiveness of geoprofile strategies been proven to identify, with a certain precision, the area where it is most likely to reside the responsible for urban fires. In this study, a calibration is proposed, formulated and checked in the B value (buffer zone) of the CGT equation proposed by Rossmo (1995) to identify the residence of the arsonist, depending on whether they are serial, mass or spree. For this, three cases of arsonists are analyzed: one in Santander in 2011, another in Palma de Mallorca in 2016 and another in Elche in 2017. The proposed adjustment for parameter B reduces both the distance of error as search costs in the three cases studied
