Invaluable Insight from a Certified Former FBI Profiler
What is Behavioral Analysis?
Behavioral Analysis as conducted by FBI profilers has its roots in many overlapping disciplines, including psychology, cognitive science, criminology, and sociology. For the FBI, it began in 1972 when a couple of innovative FBI agents began examining the behavior exhibited at the crime scenes in violent offenses for which the motives appeared unknown. This technique was useful in identifying personality and descriptive characteristics of the offender as well as a psychological motive from the identified behavior. This came to be known as "profiling" or an "unknown offender profile."
This nascent idea blossomed into research which in turn expanded the program beyond unknown offender profiles to a broader use of the identified offender personality characteristics for interviewing, prosecution, and media strategies to effect desired outcomes for the requesting agency. The process of conducting behavioral analysis in these cases came to be known at the FBI as Criminal Investigative Analysis (CIA), the examining and understanding of the human behavior involved in a matter and the use of that understanding to effect resolution. It is the marriage of investigative experience, academic training, and research.
Over time, the use of CIA expanded beyond serial murder to other types of offenses including crimes against children, counterterrorism, threats, white collar crime, and cyber offenses.
