Subject outline
This subject offers a critical examination of the various techniques that are broadly known as criminal profiling. We explore the theoretical foundations of criminal profiling and the fundamental questions of whether we can relate criminal actions to offender characteristics and predict criminal behaviour on this basis. The different methodologies involved in criminal profiling are also examined from an evidence-based perspective, with a view to assessing their respective validity and reliability.
