A modus operandi (often shortened to M.O.) is someone’s habits of working, particularly in the context of business or criminal investigations; but also more generally, it is a Latin phrase, approximately translated as mode (or manner) of operating.
Why do criminals have an MO?
The MO is what the offender must do in order to commit the crime. For example, the killer must have a means to control his victims at the crime scene such as tying them up. The signature comes from within the psyche of the offender and it reflects a deep fantasy need that the killer has about his victims.
An easy way to remember the difference is that a criminal’s MO refers to the way the crime is committed and the signature is what is beyond that it takes to commit the specific crime.
