o:2393 Role of criminal profilers in crisis situations Uloga kriminalističkih profajlera u kriznim situacijama en sr Abstract: Although the first true criminal psychological profile was created less than 70 years ago, and the first unit whose task was to help solve challenging and complicated crimes by analyzing psychological aspects was created about 50 years ago, today we cannot imagine the work of any law enforcement service without the significant contribution of psychological profilers. On the other hand, the number and type of security threats have grown exponentially in the same period, and although it is not possible to react to one part of those threats on time and prevent them, for the other part of those threats there is enough space and time that by engaging profilers, and in certain crisis situations, such as hostage crises, be it terrorist attacks, bank robberies, or other situations in which the perpetrators of such acts take hostages, by engaging a specific subtype of profilers – the negotiators, increase the chances for a peaceful resolution of the crisis situation and prevention of loss of human lives, which is of paramount interest in humane societies. The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of profiler-negotiator in crisis situations with a criminal background, using a hypothetical-deductive model and methods of analysis of primary and secondary sources, as well as qualitative, quantitative, comparative analysis, with the starting hypothesis that using techniques and methods of psychological profiling and negotiations in crisis situations with a criminal basis and background, the probability of a positive outcome, peaceful resolution of the crisis situation and damage control drastically increases. Sažetak: Iako je prvi pravi kriminalistički psihološki profil napravljen tek pre nepunih 70 godina, a prva jedinica čiji je zadatak bio da analizirajući psihološke aspekte pomogne u rešavanju teških i komplikovanih zločina nastala pre oko 50 godina, danas ne možemo da zamislimo rad nijedne službe za sprovođenje zakona bez velikog doprinosa psiholoških profajlera. Sa druge strane, broj i vrsta pretnji bezbednosti je u tom istom periodu eksponencijalno porastao, i iako za jedan deo tih pretnji nije moguće reagovati pravovremeno i sprečiti ih, za drugi deo tih pretnji postoji i dovoljno prostora i vremena da se angažovanjem profajlera, i u određenim kriznim situacijama, kao što su talačke krize, bilo da se radi o terorističkim napadima, pljačkama banaka, ili drugim situacijama u kojima učinioci tih dela uzimaju taoce, angažovanjem specifične podvrste profajlera – pregovarača, povećaju šanse za mirno rešavanje krizne situacije i spasavanje života ljudi, što je najveći interes u humanim društvima. Cilj ovog rada je da istraži ulogu profajlera-pregovarača u kriznim situacijama sa kriminalnom pozadinom, koristeći hipotetičko-deduktivni model i metode analize primarnih i sekundarnih izvora, kao i kvalitativne, kvantitativne, komparativne analize, sa polaznom hipotezom da se upotrebom tehnika i metoda psihološkog profilisanja i pregovaranja u kriznim situacijama sa kriminalnom osnovom i pozadinom verovatnoća pozitivnog ishoda, mirnog razrešenja krizne situacije i kontrole štete drastično povećava.
