PSYCOLOGICAL PROFILING
Offender profiling , criminal offender profiling & investigative
profiling
OR it refers to a forensic technique which seeks to
provide investigative agencies with specific information which will
help to form attention on individuals with personality traits that
parallel traits of others perpetrators who have committed similar
other offence ,
Also known as :-
Construction of a psychological, behavioral and demographic
profile of the type of person likely to have committed the crime
Usually applied to serial crimes (serial murders, serial rapes…)
HISTORY :-
In New York City 1950’s
Psychiatrist James Brussels constructs a
profile of “Mad Bomber”
White male, 40’s - 50’s
Lives with aunt or sister
Hates father, loves mother
Will wear double-breasted suit when apprehended
The Birth of the Profiler
Teten and Patrick Mullany are credited with making
the earliest behavioral analyses for difficult cases.
“By about 1960,” Teten says,
“I had developed a
hypothesis that you’d be able to determine the kind
of person you were looking for by what you could
see at the crime scene.”
“Father of profiling”
John Douglas
 25 years with the FBI, Investigative Support Unit
 Developed profiling techniques now taught in the
FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit
 Consulted on Atlanta child murders, Green River
killer, Unabomber
Organized vs. Disorganized
 Organized crime scene:
 Body is hidden
 Weapon is removed from scene
 Appears to be well-planned
 The victim is specifically targeted
 Restraints often used
 Aggression takes place before death
Disorganized:
Body not hidden
Weapon is present
Appears to be
spontaneous
Victim may be an
acquaintance
Aggression or sex post-
mortem
Serial
Killers

CRIMINAL PROFILE
INVESTIGATION
Applying the profile to the investigation.
• Include the use of the predictive profiling. Predictive profiling includes predicting when
and where a serial offender might commit his/her next crime, or which of a pool of
suspects is most likely to commit an additional offense.
• In sexual assault cases, victim behavior and recollection of the attacker’s words, smell,
mannerisms, and other identifiable traits can help police with suspect identification. And
case linkage uses profiling techniques to connect seemingly unrelated crimes to a single
suspect or group of suspects.
•This final stage looks at how accurate and successful the profile was in catching the
offender
