: Patterns of behavior are
entirely separate from modus operandi.
: M/o is limited to the actual criminal
act. A B&E man's M/O might include cutting the backdoor screen and taking the
silverware. The fact that he defecates on the living room rug every time is not
part of his m/o - it is a behavior unrelated to the crime at hand, burglary/theft.
Cutting
a screen is nevertheless an instance of behavior.
