Summary/Abstract: Judicial psychology can be defined as that branch of applied psychology that deals with the collection, examination and provision of psychological information that facilitates decision in a criminal context. This branch of psychology, that can be underwritten, at least partially, to the forensic field, has often been perceived, especially by the outsiders, as a pseudo-science. One of the reasons of this disregard could be “the profiling” which is a technique of the judicial psychology that proved inaccurate in a number of cases. But to establish the scientific credibility of this technique for determining the behavioral and personality characteristics of an offender, firstly the knowledge and comparison of different approaches to community profiling are necessary.
