Various theories and methodologies of criminal profiling have been proposed e.g., FBI’s Crime Scene Analysis, Brent Turvey’s Behavioral Evidence Analysis, Canter’s Profiling Technique etc. It is certain that in near future, Criminal Profiling will play a decisive role in modern criminal investigation.
