Nothing in the asker\'s text indicates a criminal or criminal act (misdadiger) (misdaad), however if it did, offender would still be correct, it is a recognised word for a criminal in the context of profile compilation. In fact in the whole picture, the word criminal is very rarely used. A prison is full of criminals, but courts are full of offenders, accused, defendants, etc. but they are rarely referred to as criminals only usually as a generalisation in say statistics for example.

I would argue, if the \"dader\" was a suspect, the words \"de verdachte\" would have been used, and not \"dader\"

Thank you Wout for reminding me that I am not a Dutchman, however I was in Holland for 16 years, long enough to know that a \"dader\" in english would be an offender, culprit, etc. etc. Criminal profile would not be used in the UK unless it had already been proved. As I have said, you have got to be absolutely certain of your facts, and it has to be proven that an individual has commited a criminal act before it is legally safe to call them a criminal.

Compile / draw up a suspect's profile


Explanation:
Als de dader de vermoedelijke dader is -en dat lijkt waarschijnlijk in dit geval want anders zie ik het nut van een profiel niet - dan zou de vertaling als boven dienen te zijn.

Dader: offender/perpetrator/culprit geeft aan dat iemand al berecht / schuldig bevonden is. In Zuid Afrika en andere landen waar de grondwet zoiets verbiedt, wordt dit woord niet gebruikt als men het heeft over het profiel van de mogelijke dader. Zo iemand heet een verdachte (suspect) en van zo\'n verdachte wordt een profiel opgesteld.

agree  Christopher Smith (X): Ik ben het helemaal met je eens, Jarry. We praten hier gewoonlijk van 'a suspect profile' oftewel 'profile of the suspect' aangezien het daarna voor het rechthof is om te beslissen of de 'suspect' wel of niet de dader is.

disagree  Lucy Spring: A 'verdachte' is a suspect until he gets charged, when he becomes the accused. We are talking here about someone who has committed an offence (whether the police know who they are or not), which makes them an 'offender'.

Criminal profile


Explanation:
Een daderprofiel is niet het profiel van een bepaald persoon die de wet heeft overtreden, noch is het het profiel van een verdachte.

Zowel Jarry als David maken hier een denkfout (ik redeneer op basis van mijn kennis over en vanuit de Nederlandse rechtstaat!).

Een daderprofiel is een abstract profiel met psychologische kenmerken van een onbekende dader van het misdrijf. We praten over een ernstig misdrijf en niet alleen maar over het overtreden van de wet. Het opstellen van een daderprofiel is een methode waarnaar de politie niet zo snel grijpt omdat het gecompliceerd is en als bewijs in een rechtzaak niet is hard te maken. Men gaat op basis van een daderprofiel op zoek naar mogelijke verdachten. Vervolgens zal er dan hetzij een bekentenis hetzij hard bewijs moeten komen. Zoniet dan gaat de verdachte in Nederland vrijuit. De Juridische realiteit in het Buitenland is mogelijk anders.

Een suspect is een vermoedelijke dader oftewel verdachte. Dat ben ik met je eens. Ik ga ervan uit (maar ben natuurlijk geen native speaker) dat een suspect altijd een concrete persoon is (Jantje, Pietje, Marietje etc.). De dader in een daderprofiel is echter een abstracte persoon. De dader is hier niet meer dan een opsomming van beschrijvende kenmerken. Ik vermoed overigens ook een verschil tussen Brits Engels (Offender as short form of \"Criminal Offender\") en Amerikaans./Canadees Engels (Criminal) maar daar kan ik verder te weinig van zeggen. Wellicht moeten we Ineke Hardy nog eens vragen of ze daar haar licht over kan laten schijnen.

disagree  Dave Greatrix: The "dader" may have caused a traffic accident, but that would not make him a criminal. However he would still be an offender, having committed an offence. Only the author can clarify.

  -> Please David. "Dader~profiel" The connotation here is crime. I know becaue I am Dutch. You do not seem to understand. You will however be forgiven since you are not a Dutchman. ;-)

neutral  jarry (X): Met andere woorden, het profiel is bedoeld om de VERMOEDELIJKE dader op te sporen. Zo iemand heet toch een "suspect" in het Engels. Laten we daar niet al te moeilijk over doen.

disagree  Lucy Spring: 'Criminal' in police work tends to be used in phrases, like 'criminal investigation service', 'criminal matters', but rarely (if ever) in official business do we talk of 'criminals'. They are offenders/suspects/persons concerned, depending on context.

profile


Explanation:
Working in this area has shown me that the rest of the text will point out the nature of the criminal. So profile should be more than enough

Derhalve zou profile meer dan voldoende moeten zijn gezien ook in andere profielen de inhoud duidelijk maakt over welk profiel het zich hier handelt.

"The asker requested explanations in: Dutch." It was really hard to miss.

David, I did not repeat myself. I only pointed out this request once to individual answerers who used English instead of Dutch. Be that as it may, congratulations on providing what seems to be the right answer!

Als er een pakje friet bij zou kunnen zijn dan zou ik de eerste zijn die daarom zou vragen, zeker met al die Belgen in ons midden!
