Offender profiling aims to identify an offender on the basis of his or her characteristics
and modus operandi. It is one of the methods that support investigation most often
in homicide cases. It is most effective when dealing with a serial killer. During the
process of creating the offender profile, knowledge of the offender’s behaviour and
personality, data on the victim, information obtained during the investigation and
any other relevant information relating to the case is used. By analysing the available
data, the profile builder seeks to identify the personality traits of the offender. Each
behaviour is the result of a factor, probably related to the past. The purpose of this article
is to identify the factors that are relevant to offender profiling and how forensic
profiling affects offender detection.
