FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit

The FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) is a specialized team that studies criminal behavior to help solve cases. They analyze patterns, motives, and traits of offenders to understand how they think and act. By creating profiles of suspects, the BAU assists law enforcement in identifying and capturing criminals involved in serious offenses like serial crimes, terrorism, and cybercrime. Their work combines psychology, criminology, and investigative techniques, providing insights that guide police strategies and enhance public safety.
