Summary/Abstract: The psychological analysis of the criminal behaviour has a great importance in terms of prevention and investigation of crimes that were committed by the same perpetrator. The psychological profiling method is very popular in the USA, but also in Western Europe, unlike Romania, being an imperative scientific method that is used in criminal investigations, helping investigators to identify unknown criminals. This subject is treated very rare in Romania, mainly due to the lack of specialists who would need a lot of experience and an extensive knowledge base from different fields of study such as: criminology, psychology, forensic medicine, psychiatry, sociology, law, etc.
