criminal personality profiling  

Définition

  • Despite being used as an investigative tool as far back as World War II, criminal personality profiling (also referred to as criminal investigative analysis or offender profiling) can still be best classified as an art rather than a scientific pursuit. Although clearly growing out of the behavioral sciences, as well as the practical experiences of law enforcement practitioners, profiling continues to be considered with a high degree of suspicion by psychologists and has begun only recently to receive the needed empirical attention.
