Behavior Analysis Unit

The Behavior Analysis Unit (BAU) is a specialized group within the FBI that uses psychological techniques to understand and assist in solving complex crimes, especially those involving violent or serial offenders. They analyze behaviors, motivations, and patterns to help predict future actions, identify suspects, and provide insights for investigations. Their work often involves collaborating with law enforcement agencies and applying scientific methods to improve criminal identification and prevention, ultimately aiming to protect communities and bring offenders to justice.
