investigative profiling

Investigative profiling is a method used by law enforcement to analyze a crime and develop a psychological or behavioral portrait of the suspect. By examining details like the crime scene, victim, and crime pattern, profilers identify traits, motives, and possible backgrounds of the offender. This helps narrow down suspects and guides investigation strategies, ultimately increasing the chances of identifying and apprehending the perpetrator. It combines evidence analysis with psychological insights to create a clearer picture of who might be responsible.
