leviathan, A criminal profiler is the same regardless of the specialty field. The quick and dirty answer is yes, white collar crime needs some good profilers. We need to be able to predict, based on the psyche of the major archetypes where a computer criminal will strike next. What are their motivations, who are they working for, is it a script kiddie or a pro? Did they leave a calling card? etc...
Just like other crimes, we need to understand white collar crime. However...we need to be able to catch and prosecute a criminal in order for the psychologists to study them, and that is where the struggle is.
