A exploração do profiling criminal como aparato ao direito processual penal

Abstract

Criminal profiling is a methodology based on multidisciplinarity, going beyond the strictly legal field. This technique has a great unexplored potential, which can serve as an apparatus not only in the field of studies but also for criminal investigations. Although there are traces of rudimentary forms of this method used for more than a century, the first steps towards its insertion in the world legal scope are made much more recently. Although there are more developed countries in this area, profiling has been gradually expanding in Brazil, a phenomenon that tends to grow more and more while the ideal and the proof of its effectiveness are being disseminated, with the objective of enriching through knowledge and effectiveness, the Law as a whole.
