FBI Behavioral Science Unit

The FBI Behavioral Science Unit (BSU) is a specialized team that studies criminal behavior to help law enforcement solve crimes and catch offenders. They analyze patterns, motives, and psychological traits of criminals to create profiles, predict behaviors, and assist with investigations. Their work improves understanding of offenders, which aids in prevention, identifying suspects, and solving complex cases. The BSU collaborates with other agencies and often shares insights used in criminal profiling, making investigations more effective by applying psychological science to real-world crime-solving.
