The FBI's Criminal Profiling Program

The FBI's Criminal Profiling Program analyzes crime scene details and evidence to develop psychological and behavioral profiles of unknown offenders. By examining patterns, motives, and victimology, profilers identify traits, habits, and potential backgrounds of suspects. This process helps law enforcement narrow down suspect lists, anticipate future actions, and locate offenders more efficiently. Profiling is a collaborative effort, combining criminal psychology, behavioral science, and investigative data to support investigations without guessing, ultimately aiding in solving complex cases.
