The profiling technique in forensic investigations

Abstract

The psychological profile of the criminal is a complex process of identifying it, by analyzing the nature of the offense committed and the mode of committing it. This technique can provide information on the type of offender, while reducing the suspect circle. Due to the modernization of society, many criminals have come to know how to alter the crime scene so that their traces are lost. That is why the profiler will have to carefully and professionally investigate the scene of the crime in order to discover the traces of the offense and at the same time to be able to reproduce mentally the thread of the events. Profiling is therefore important in forensic research, and it is precisely in order to discover and interpret the traces of crime and its author.
