Criminal profiling is a relatively new method in criminology, which is used to detect certain crimes. Profiling is a procedure that determines the characteristics of the unknown perpetrator, such as: in what kind of mental state he/she was during the crime, age, ethnic and racial background, profession, marital status etc. Criminal psychological profiling is divided into inductive and deductive profiling, and the person involved in creating an account of an unknown perpetrator is called a profiler. Profiling has orientationelimination significance in the discovery of the unknown perpetrator, where the circle of perpetrators narrows to the real perpetrator. With this paper I will explain the procedure for profiling (assessment of the perpetrator's personality, assessment of the place of the event, assessment of autopsy findings, preparation of a profile and taking specific measures and actions). Furthermore, my goal is to show how profiling is important in the discovery of the unknown perpetrator of crimes (especially in the case of murders, rapes, robberies, kidnappings, etc.), and its related preventive significance. At the same time, I can conclude from my previous researchthat the employees of the Ministry of the Interior have too little knowledge of this method. In my research, I will use the historical - comparative method, study of the literature both in Macedonia and abroad and on the Internet, and interviews with police employees and psychologists. The conclusions of the paper, suggestions, and preventive profiling actions will be outlined in the final phase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
