**To put a collective perspective for all the above offences because the culmination of these
are always deviant in nature and has somewhat indistinguishable operation in terms of
causing harm and the motivation behind these acts. Different Techniques for psychological
assessment tests such as Polygraph, Narco-analysis Layered Voice Analysis, Suspect
Detection System, Brain Fingerprinting (P300), functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(fMRI), and Brain Electrical Oscillations Signatures (BEOS) Profiling, also known as Brain
Mapping have important clinical, scientific, ethical and legal implications. These techniques
are useful for identifying confidential information related to crime. This information is known
to be a corroborative evidence for criminal investigations Corroborative evidence tends to
support a proposition that is already supported by some initial evidence, therefore
confirming the proposition. These techniques have been used extensively by investigators.
However, investigative agencies know that the information provided cannot be used as
evidence during the trial. They argue that it is safer than the 'third degree methods' used by
other investigators. Investigating the collection of evidence, and thus increasing the level of
prosecution of the perpetrators and the level of conviction of the innocent. Recently, these
methods have been promoted by the Indian Evidence Act and Indian courts as the most
accurate and best of any, without convincing evidence. These techniques further help in
developing a criminal's psychological profile is just one of the many jobs of a forensic
psychologist. Part of the profiling process is directing law enforcement to potential criminals
and recommending effective strategies to interrogate suspects, it also helps the police officers
get a break through on cases by explaining what types of people are likely to commit a
certain type of crime and what their background might be. Forensic psychologists also aid
the court system by evaluating or diagnosing people suspected of committing a crime. This is
important because it allows the judiciary to determine if a person can be held accountable
for his actions. A certain crime will repeat the same offense if released.
