Geographic profiling uses the locations of a series of crimes to determine the most probable area where the offender lives or works.

Therefore, the most likely outcome of geographic profiling is identifying the offender's residence. The other options (next robbery, escape route, location of gangs) are not necessarily the focus of geographic profiling.
