Forensic psychology behind a crime drama

Katherine Ramsland uses the television series *Criminal Minds* as a point of departure for examining the real-world work of forensic psychologists in criminal investigations. The book contrasts the show’s fictional Behavioral Analysis Unit with how specialists apply knowledge of behavior and motivation as investigative consultants. It also connects real criminal cases to episodes of the series, bringing together television, criminal profiling, and true-crime material. The emphasis is on the relationship between dramatized investigation and professional practice, rather than simply recounting the show’s plots.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Viewers of *Criminal Minds* curious about the real practices behind its investigative premise
  • Readers interested in forensic psychology, criminal profiling, and true-crime cases

Book overview

The bestselling author of The Forensic Science of C.S.I. examines the real-life cases behind the hit television series Criminal Minds

Week after week, the hit TV show Criminal Minds gives viewers a look inside the psyches of the fictional serial killers tracked by the BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit). This elite team of FBI agents travels the country assisting law enforcement officials by examining the crime scene, "profiling" the perpetrator, and aiding in arrest and interrogation. In this book Katherine Ramsland reveals how reality differs from fiction and how forensic psychologists actually use their knowledge of human behavior and motivations as consultants in criminal investigations-as well as detailing the real cases that influenced some of Criminal Minds's most memorable episodes.
