Three of the FBI and BAU cases
BAU officers and scientists should be able to perform the following duties:
BAU: Behavioral Analyst Unit
BAU personnel collaborate closely with federal, local and international law enforcement agencies to produce accurate recreations of violent crimes, provide a psychological framework for such crimes and predict the likely actions of violent perpetrators. The keen insights of BAU scientists have helped countless investigations identify and apprehend criminals and terrorists before they could produce any more violence.
The Behavioral Analysis Unit has commonly been popularized as profilers for their ability to analyze evidence and develop a psychological profile of the culprit. The effectiveness of these FBI profilers is based on careful analysis of thousands of cases of violent crime, which are then used in similar cases to provide an understanding of the perpetrators motives and modes of operation. The FBI NCAVC maintains a database of violent crimes that is accessible to police at the local and state levels.
Why is the FBI & BAU significant to American Culture?
-As crime rates go up, law enforcement needs experts who specialize in certain fields, including behavior of the criminals we need to catch
What will the FBI & BAU look like in the future?
Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) and National DNA Index System (NDIS)
The number of profiles in NDIS has and will continue to dramatically increase resulting in a need to re-architect the CODIS software.
This next generation of CODIS will utilize STR and mtDNA information as well as meta data (such as sex, date of last sighting, age, etc.)
All components of the criminal justice community—law enforcement, crime laboratories, victims, prosecutors and the judiciary—the future of DNA, CODIS, and NDIS holds even greater promise to solve crime
Criminal Minds
The FBI started from a force of special agents created in 1908 during Theodore Roosevelt's presidency
BAU was formed in 1974 as the BSU (Behavioral Science Unit) and was changed in 1994 to the Behavioral Analysis Unit
How will the FBI & BAU influence American Culture in future?
We think that the FBI will continue to add specialized experts in certain areas of criminal justice, including behavior analysis
How would America be different today without FBI & BAU?
Without the BAU, the duties and techniques would just be broadly spread among the agents that investigate these crimes, instead of making a unit specializing in this one set of techniques.
1.Protect the United States from terrorist attacks
2.Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage
3.Protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes
4.Combat public corruption at all levels
5.Protect civil rights
6.Combat transnational/national criminal organizations and enterprises
7.Combat major white-collar crime
8.Combat significant violent crime
9.Support federal, state, local and international partners
10.Upgrade technology to successfully perform the FBI’s mission
