Modus operandi (often used in the abbreviated form MO) is a Latin phrase, approximately translatable as "mode of operation." It is used in police work to describe a criminal's characteristic patterns and style of work. The term is also commonly used in the United States of America in a non-criminal sense to describe someone's habits.

Modus Operandi, it just means the way the criminal operates, if there are similarities (for example a thief that always poses as the gasman, or a murderer that always uses a silk scarf for strangling).
