Criminal profiling and VICAP's role

The FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit is one of the best-known and most important units within the bureau. 

The use of profiling and psychology to apprehend criminals has revolutionized how we understand and identify them.

It has also been the subject of popular TV shows, such as Criminal Minds and Mindhunter, and movies like The Silence of the Lambs. 

However, it is not without controversy. In fact, there are some people who think it doesn’t work at all.

Learn about the development of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit and how agents utilize profiling and behavioral analysis to catch criminals on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
