FBI Method of Profiling

Profiling is not magic and it does not live on hunches. It is a disciplined cut of behavior against time, place, and pressure. In this brief I will show how the FBI method converts observed actions into motive, capability, and opportunity, then fuses that with victimology and scene work to narrow identity space. You will see the core decisions that drive a working profile, the pattern checks that strip noise, and the translation of analysis into moves that protect lives and accelerate leads.

Start with the victim and the first contact point. Lock the baseline, then hunt the deviations. Measure before you label.
