Behavioral Analysis Unit

The Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) is a division within the FBI that focuses on understanding criminal behavior. Its team of professionals, including criminologists and psychologists, analyzes patterns, motives, and techniques used by offenders to help solve crimes and prevent future ones. They study various types of crimes, especially violent ones, to create profiles of suspects, which can assist law enforcement in catching them. Essentially, the BAU uses science and psychology to decode the actions and thoughts of criminals, aiding in making communities safer.
