Abstract
Criminal profiling is a technique that seeks to describe, explain and predict the demographic (age, sex, occupation) and psychological (personality traits, motivation) characteristics of a person who has committed a crime and whose identity is unknown. To this end, it gathers information from the crime scene, the victim, witnesses and documents related to the case. In summary, profiling is a technique that, based on the available data on the crime, the crime scene and the victim, provides information on the characteristics of the perpetrator.
