OFFENDER PROFILING AND EVIDENCE IN COURT
Suçlu Profili son sureçte halkın dikkatini ve yaygın olarak medyanın ilgisini çekmektedir. Suçlu Profili konusunda bir sürü farklı tanım bulunmaktadır ancak bu tanımların ortak özelliği Suçlu Profili oluşturmanın Mahkemelerin doğru karar almalarını sağlamaya yardımcı olmak şeklinde özetlenebilir. Suçlu profile ilk olarak FBIın Davranışsal Bilim Ünitesi tarafından suçluların özelliklerinin oluşturulması amacıyla kullanılmıştır. Bilirkişi tanıklığı Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, İngiltere gibi ülkelerde kullanılmaktadır ancak bilirkişi tanıklığı uygulaması hala tartışmalıdır. Bunun yanında şuana kadar bilirkişinin Mahkemedeki raporu ve sözlü ifadesinin kalitesi hakkında herhangi bir sistematik araştırma uygulanmamıştır. Zaman zaman yeterli olmayan Bilirkişi tanıklığı Adli Hata ile sonuçlanmaktadır. Bu makale başlangıç itibariyle Suçlu Profilinin tarihi gelişimine odaklanmış ve bazı ülkelerden örnekler içermektedir. İkinci olarak Suçlu Profili oluşturma konusunda farklı yaklaşımlar hakkında bilgi aktarılmıştır.Üçüncü olarak Bilirkişinin uzman olarak duruşma salonundaki rolü inceleyecelenmiştir. Son olarak ise, Suçlu Profili oluşturmanın Mahkemede kanıt olarak kullanılıp kullanılamayacağına yanıt verilmeye çalışılmıştır.
Offender Profiling has intrigued the public attention and received extensive media exposure recently. There are many different definitions about offender profiling but their mutual point can be summarized as to aid the law courts in terms of making the right decision. Offender profiling was first regularly used by the FBIs Behavioural Science Unit to form the characteristics of criminals. Expert evidence has been used by some countries such as in the US and the UK, but the expert evidence system is still controversial. Furthermore, no systematic research has been conducted into the quality of experts reports and oral evidence in court. On occasions, poor expert evidence results in a miscarriage of justice. This essay will initially focus on the historical development of offender profiling and give some examples from different countries. Secondly, it will give information about different approaches of profiling. Thirdly, it will examine role of the profilers as an expert in court rooms. Finally, the essay will try to answer whether profiling can be used as evidence in court or not
