What is Criminal Profiling?

Criminal profiling is an investigative and behavioral tool that is used by profilers to determine the behavior, age, race, and any other important facts about the killer. Criminal profiling was developed during 1950’s by two FBI agents. Their names were Howard Teten and Pat Mullany. Profiling can also be traced all the way back to the Middle Ages where inquisitors use profiling on people that commit heresy or witchcraft.
