Effective criminal profilers are at describing murderers

/in /by

QUESTION 1

There is a great deal of debate over how effective criminal profilers are at describing murderers. This issue was the center of a number of legal cases, such as Ohio v. Shelton , Louisiana v. Code, and Delaware v. Pennell, pertaining to whether criminal profilers should be considered expert witnesses. The ruling in these cases indicated that:
Since profiling is more of an art than a science, criminal profilers cannot be considered expert witnesses
Since profilers are highly trained and relatively accurate, they can act as expert witnesses in court cases
Since profiling is relatively new, more evidence needs to be gathered before legal decisions can be made about profilers serving as expert witnesses
Since profiling usually produces a very accurate depiction of murderers, profiles can be brought in as evidence, but criminal profilers cannot serve as expert witnesses
