| Spanish abstract | a nivel internacional a la identificación de patrones conductuales, espaciales y cronoecológicos. Además, es necesario comprobar si los hallazgos internacionales son aplicables en nuestros contextos, y hasta qué punto pueden ser considerados en nuestra práctica. Finalmente, se propone que esta línea de investigación sea permanente y que no sólo obedezca a reacciones inmediatas ante delitos de gran impacto. La línea de investigación que proponemos se debe constituir con base en modelos teóricos comprobados empíricamente, en busca de relaciones entre la información disponible en los casos de delitos cometidos por agresores desconocidos y los datos que pueden ser de utilidad para la identificación y la captura de los delincuentes. Dentro de los retos y las perspectivas de los perfiles criminológicos proponemos ir más allá de la deducción y acercarse a una ciencia basada en la evidencia científica |
| English abstract | Within the frame of an international interest to explain and reduce violent behavior, criminological profiles provide relevant knowledge on the characteristics and circumstances concerning violent events, their authors and victims. In this review the main lines of investigation on this subject are addressed, as well as some of the most important findings and inquiries yet to be solved. Finally, some challenges and perspectives of this type of research and the application of criminological profiles are discussed. Our conclusions include the necessity of developing a line of research to generate an insight into this subject in general, as well as to assess its applicability in specific contexts in Spanish speaking countries. Even though criminological profiles have been simultaneously supported and criticized, the findings in this research area evince the possibility of creating useful criminological profiles with accuracies above the random level. However, the outcomes of studies related to this subject suggest a precautionary approach with respect to its achievements. This manuscript reviews the research on criminological profiles from five study areas: a) crime and delinquent typologies; b) behavioral patterns and the theory of facets; c) spatial patterns and geographical profiles; d) temporal patterns and chrono-ecological rhythms, and e) reliability and validity. Studies in crime and delinquent typologies are marked within a clinical focus, in which deductive logic, experience of the profiler and analysis of previous cases are the keys to tackle cases of unknown aggressors |
