... that Lionel Haward applied an early example of offender profiling to help identify high-ranking Nazi war criminals who had disguised themselves as ordinary troops?

Source: "Less well known but perhaps more directly related to the practices that the FBI were later to develop were the efforts of a British forensic psychologist who attempted to establish a means of identifying war criminals in the chaos that followed the liberation of camps like Bergen-Belsen. Tasked with identifying Schutzstaffel (SS) camp officials and guards who had tortured prisoners, and unconvinced that witness testimony alone would suffice to identify perpetrators who had assumed the disguise of ordinary soldiers or airmen, Lionel Haward drew up a list of characteristics that high-ranking Nazi war criminals might display."

Article is new enough, long enough, and well-sourced. Earwig brought back nothing of concern and a spot check showed no issues. QPQ done. Hook is interesting and makes me want to learn more. This is good to go, nice work! DrOrinScrivello (talk) 14:39, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
