Subject: Criminal Profiling in Court

Hi, Hope someone can help me either knowledge or research areas where I can find something to work with.

The question is:

How have courts dealt with the admissibility of criminal profiling evidence?

I've noticed in some research that sometimes the profiling was admissible as evidence and sometimes it was not allowed. Have courts become more lenient in allowing this type of evidence? Does criminal profiling go against Frye or Daubert that would not allow for testifying?

I'm not a law student, but this is for a Graduate Forensics class in Professional Ethics. Hope someone can help me with these questions or lead me to a place where I can find some answers. Thanks:)
