A criminal profiler is a specialist who analyzes the behavior and characteristics of criminals to help law enforcement solve crimes. They study patterns in criminal activity, looking at factors like the crime scene, victim profiles, and the methods used by the perpetrator. By understanding these elements, profilers can create a psychological profile of the suspect, which can guide investigations. Profilers often work on serious cases, such as those involving serial killers or violent crimes. They may collaborate with detectives and forensic experts to provide insights that lead to arrests. Their work combines psychology, criminology, and investigative techniques to uncover the motives behind criminal behavior.
