The Emergence of Criminal Profiling in the Hungarian Scientific Thinking

A Summary and Chronological Presentation of the Major Hungarian Studies on the Topic of Offender Profiling

Abstract

The above few pages show that I have tried the impossible: undertaking to present a specific
investigative support procedure, such as criminal profiling, through the mirror of domestic scientific investigation and thinking. In this article, I wanted to capture an arc: how each author defines the method itself in each study, what expectations and criticism have been expressed against it, and where scientific and practical thinking about the process is heading in the development of scientific and technical technology.
