Karen graduated with B.A in Criminology and English Literature from Bar-Ilan University, Israel in 1997. In 1999 she obtained the MSc in Investigative Psychology at the University of Liverpool. Her research focuses on the relationship between the ways offenders perceive their environment and their offence location choice. Burglars, robbers and thieves are asked to draw sketch maps of their home area and indicate their crime locations, and to draw the route they took to a crime scene and back. The information gathered might help explain the strategic choices offenders make in selecting a crime site location.
