Overview

When law enforcement struggles to solve a serial murder, arson, rape, or child abduction, and is making little headway, it turns to the FBI's legendary Behavioural Science Unit (BSU) at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Over the past three decades, more than thirty members of this elite team have worked to capture countless elusive criminals. Rarely have they been appreciated. Never has their story been told. This unique oral history will provide fascinating reading for fans of ""CSI"", ""Profiler"", and other similar dramas, and is also a long overdue and fitting tribute to the heroic men and women of the Behavioural Science Unit, who fight everyday to keep Americans safe.
