Law and Order: Interdimensional Edition - Week Five
This was really the first time that Derek Morgan (the version that hadn't been on Vampire Island) had been in one of the classrooms. Oh, he'd visited Reid in his office a time or two, but that was about it. This, though... well, it felt both familiar and not. He liked it. Made him wonder if he shouldn't see about teaching more courses at Quantico.
"Profiling. I'm sure you've heard of it, good and bad. You've seen it in movies likemetafor Silence of the Lambs, tv shows, that kind of thing. You've also probably heard about it in other ways. Racial profiling gets a lot of media attention. Now, I'm here to try and clear up some things, as well as to give you a crash course in behavioral science, which is the actual name for what we'll be talking about today."
"My name is Derek Morgan. I own the hardware store down in town (which is still hiring, by the way), and I also work for the FBI in the Behavioral Analysis Unit, also known as the BAU.Like in my username.
"What we do is provide a profile to help local law enforcement when they call us in. We assemble that profile from the information we have on the victim, the crime scene, and any communication we might have with the unsub themself. An unsub, or unknown subject, is the term we use because it makes no assumptions. And that's one of the most important lessons: don't assume anything. Look at any body of evidence with as clean a slate as you can and keep your process objective."
He leaned against the desk.
"Now, to do this job, you need to have time spent with criminals, behavioral psychology degrees, all that, but today I'm going to cover one of the most basic parts of behavioral science: victimology."
He started handing out sheets of papers with information printed on the top and lines for writing on the bottom, as well as the back.
"Victimology is a term with a lot of meanings and a lot of uses. Today, we're going to be talking about victimology in terms of a criminal investigation. We're going to be looking at the victim, considering details of the crime scene and the victim themselves, to try and tell us something about the unsub who killed them. You're set up into three teams; split yourself up accordingly and discuss it and at the end of class, you're going to give us some information on the person who might have done this. I'll let you know how you did."
