Offender Profiling

Offender profiling is a method used by law enforcement to analyze a crime and develop insights about the perpetrator. It involves examining details like the crime scene, victim, and methods to identify patterns and characteristics that may reveal the offender’s personality, habits, or background. The goal is to narrow down suspect lists, predict future actions, and assist in investigation strategies. Profilers integrate behavioral science with investigative data, aiming to create a psychological portrait that guides detectives toward the suspect and helps solve complex cases efficiently.
