What Is Forensic Profiling?
Forensic profiling is a process which is used to assimilate data about a crime scene, victim, and offender with the goal of helping investigators find the offender and successfully prosecute the case. A number of disciplines are involved in forensic profiling, and usually a skilled team works together to generate a profile, although one person may act as the head of the team. Like other aspects of forensics, forensic profiling is constantly advancing with new research, tools, and information.
