Criminal Minds - The Science and Psychology of Profiling

Criminal profilers are faced with a daunting task. Often with only the slighest clues to go on, they are under tremendous pressure to apprehend violent killers and rapists in the shortest possible time, before they attack or kill again. Contrary to popular belief, the serial killer is often a charming, considerate, impeccably dressed and polite individual, which makes the search even more difficult and the concept of criminal profiling even more crucial. 'Criminal Minds' explores the fascinating application of psychology to forensic science and to crime, and its relevance to our lives and to society today.
