 Although a similar project was previously undertaken by Timothy O'Shea, Muscarello and Dahbur noticed that problems existed with this proposed system because it relied on limited pre-processing and complex algorithms that lead to computational problems.The objective of Professor Muscarello and Professor Dahbur was to create an "automated methodology that can systematically identify groups of records as potential patterns for serial criminals, with a good degree of accuracy".The CSSCP program was designed to work in three separate phases in conjunction with a Kohonen network.
