Profiling is a thing, though.

Psychology is an inexact science, and so accuracy and effectiveness are probably not what people think they are, but criminal behavioral analysis is something that exists. It is a tool that is used by law enforcement, even if it fictionally it seems to get portrayed like profilers are basically psychic and rarely wrong. Honestly, though, a lot of things get skipped over in fictional portrayals of all kinds of professions because they are boring or very complicated or don't otherwise fit the story flow.

+1 this. It's not always accurate, but it's statistically much more useful than guessing. For instance, the DC shooters were profiled to be black (which was not politically good at the time, and they were told to change it) and they were, in fact, black.
