Despite the increased use of criminal profiling by law enforcement agencies, few studies examine factors impacting profile accuracy, and only one has evaluated profiler training. The present study examined the efficacy of profiler training on profile accuracy for sexual homicide offenders. Participants (N = 198) were randomly assigned to the training or control condition. Participants in the training condition learned inductive and deductive profiling techniques for sexual homicide offenders, whereas control participants learned about sexual violence prevention. Results indicated that participants’ self-reported use of combined profiling methods produced more accurate profiles. Differences between gender and training groups were also present. These findings suggest brief psychology-based training can be used to teach police officers and detectives to more accurately identify and apprehend criminals.
