Very interesting

This is my dream job

BAU has nothing on me

i cannot be the only one thats obsessed with The Naturals series and randomly decided to research of profiling and criminology

Clear, grounded, and way more realistic than TV portrayals—great breakdown of how criminal profiling actually works and its limits. Super informative 👌

Yeah the words people use say a lot about their age

Would be interesting to also hear the cases where they got it spectacularly wrong.
But those may be harder to come by...

(11:37) "The victimology was completely random. Typically in spree cases the offender is on the run and commits murder after murder, but he compensates over that time" - The way you break down the DC sniper case with such methodical detail is absolutely fascinating. This is exactly the kind of expert analysis we need to understand criminal behavior!

Why am I obsessed with this

Everybody was requesting the Metallica song ride the lightning for Ted Bundy

I remember the night that electrocuted Ted Bundy it was quite the fiasco on live radio

I was going to talk shlt about this guy, but I kinda like this guy

Really! You do a profile and dont tell us who it is!!! Rubbish

The accuracy of the profiling is chilling! Fuckin A.

So, I am guessing I am the only one watching this video after reading The Naturals 🤨👍🏻

In the philippines we need this guy so insightful, no sugar coating words, brutally honest , now many are addicts mow

FBI: We entice somebody to do illegal things, often with our agents also doing illegal things. Then we bust them! Not our agents. Just the ones we want to bust.

argh how i miss mindhunter

This has nothing to do with the topic but he looks like the actor in ghost movie 1990, the angry ghost in the subway. Vincent Schiavelli

Wow you dont say 🤔

Are they specialized in signatures? Healthcare professionals are.

But somehow police officers are still stupid enough to keep assuming it's suicide most of the times 😑 or downright ignoring the entire thing, cuz they are too lazy? Idk... And 80% of offender are cowards going against women who are weaker than them instead of picking someone their own size. Pathetic.

Are Profilers sometimes preesent in an Interview?

*opening interrogation room*...."excuse me I see too much symmetry"

"she eats Stephanie browns mom" ...."and you worked on that case correct?" "correct"...."pool"...."go sign up now"...."I was 5" "Mike was 3"......"pardon me" "no go ahead" ....you should just go to school..."I'm not but obviously I could be"

Thanks

I had to become a letter carrier just sold my profile would not look like a God complex which is ridiculous

Thx

This is a good analysis of the Jews. Fits them perfectly. Thanks for sharing.

8:05 random,that’s some really horrible gross looking weed

This video is proof of how well-made "Mindhunter" is.

Wait...did we ever find out who Jff Bope is?

Thank you.

Mr.🐜Ant makes valid points.

Thank you.

This isn’t just about catching criminals — it’s about understanding the darkest corners of the human mind. Jim Clemente doesn’t just explain profiling — he humanizes it

Also that Texas tower sniper was mentally ill & could not get help to save his life. He wrote a note expressing this.

I think one of the best podcasts for profiling is the consult. It's a group of profilers who have done so many big cases and tell you their little secrets on what they do and how they do it. It's so interesting

Yeah but if you kill someone at a farm.....wont the pigs squeal? Lol get it!!???!!?

This was freaking awesome. I love behavioral profiling, it's an aspect of Law Enforcement that I've always been interested in, and to hear an actual profiler discussing and teaching about the art/science was just what I needed. This is going on a playlist for when I want to watch it again.

is it me or does this FBI agent sound like Kevin Conroy ?
