Psychological Profiling

Psychoanalysis and motivation of perpetrators continues to increase, especially during the murder crime. The main problem with analysis is the accuracy that the analysis can provide, or the accuracy that can not be provided. It is not an accurate science, it may seem like a more intuitive ability. The article "Experience and accuracy of psychological analysis of violent crime", Kocsis, R., Hayes, A. and Erwin, H are actually based on experience assessing the accuracy of crime analysis.

Psychoanalysis refers to a sketch of an individual's behavior that may or may not be a suspect. The process of psychoanalysis involves combining crime scene information and evidence with psychological theory and drawing sketches of criminal behavior and personality. Bartol and Bartol wrote that during the Second World War the US Strategic Services Bureau used psychological analysis to try to understand Adolf Hitler's trends and thought processes.

To create perpetrator profiles, BAU members use a concept called psychoanalysis. The belief in psychoanalysis is often corroborated by case evidence that the BAU profile is described as the necessary key to resolving the crime. For example, homeless in North Carolina province was arrested after a BAU profile was announced due to a local police failure to settle. Such case evidence is common in mass media, but the concept of psychoanalysis has not been empirically proven.

The term "psychological necropsy" is exactly what it means: psychological characteristics used to determine the mental state of a dead man. There are many reasons for psychological characteristics, but the most common thing is to determine the cause or nature of death whether or not it is nature, suicide, murder or accident. For psychoanalysis a considerable amount of information must be gathered. Some of the information includes personal information (history of all drug / alcohol abuse, known stress, lifestyle, relationship etc), biographical information (date of birth, occupation, marriage or relationship status), any secondary information (criminal record , Family history) And information gathered by interviewing the family of the deceased. Once this information is gathered, forensic psychologists can summarize psychological autopsies.
