Criminal Profiling

Real Science or Just Wishful Thinking?

DAMON A. MULLER

University of Melbourne

Criminal profiling is designed to generate information on a perpetrator of a crime, usually a serial offender, through an analysis of the crime scene left by the perpetrator. The two main approaches to criminal profiling, crime scene analysis and investigative psychology, are examined for the presence of a paradigm and the possibility of falsifiability to determine whether they can be considered as science.
