ABSTRACT

Let’s keep this simple. It is well established that people behave according to the way they think, i.e., their acts follow previously entertained ideas. We behave along the lines of what we think. e thought always precedes the act. is concept has guided the Behavioral Science Unit (BSU) and the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC) at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in their analysis and proling eorts. eir research has staunchly validated this concept.
