Authority has long tried to narrow the pool of suspects in a crime. Eventually, police turned to psychologists to help understand the person so that they could be more easily discovered. This opened the door for all kinds of wild speculation that was about as useful as a psychic (really, they compared profilers to psychics in the research).
