Translate: Criminal Profiler

Question

Can you translate the phrase "Criminal Profiler" for me.

Answer 1

I'd say "criminólogo".

Answer 2

Do you know of anything more percise? That also means "Criminologist".

Answer 3

I don't know enough about criminology to provide a proper conventional translation (if there is one), but I can give you a decent understandable (and logical) alternative:

Experto en perfiles psicológicos (criminales).
Experto en perfiles psicocriminales.

I know it is quite long, but "perfilador" sounds to me like someone who makes sculptures or paintings of people's faces, or some sort of contour finishing machine.

Answer 4

I don't think my teacher wil notice. Thanks a bunch!

Answer 5

Do you know of anything more percise? That also means "Criminologist".
