Criminal Profiling

Recently I have found an interesting career in psychology, Criminal Profiling. Criminal Profiling is a career in both psychology and criminal justice. It is a profilers job to help law enforcement in apprehending criminals. They create profiles on what the suspect will be like, and this can help determine age, race, gender, social status,  and other things like that. Profilers analyze crime scenes alongside law enforcement so that they can see the crime firsthand and see how it was committed. It is not uncommon to for a profiler to work as law enforcement as well. The biggest employer of criminal profilers is the FBI, they have a special unit for behavioral analysis. Despite it being it's own unit most employees move up from a detective position and have experience on the field. So basically criminal profilers are like cops and detectives but use psychological methods to apprehending criminals.
