Criminal Minds on A&E follows the men and women of the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), an elite team of FBI profilers who get inside the heads of hardened criminals to discover what makes them tick. Leader of the group is Jason Gideon, whose academic approach to cases and guides the team as they analyze the country's most twisted criminal minds. They specialize in anticipating their next moves before they strike again. Each member brings his or her own area of expertise to the table as they pinpoint predators' motivations and identify their emotional triggers in the attempt to stop them. This show entails many criminals and their intellect behind their crimes that they commit. There are many different types of criminals on this show some having backgrounds of child abuse and some just randomly committing crimes. It is up to the BAU to figure out what is really going on in the criminal minds as they hunt them down. Members of the BAU believe that there is always a motivation behind a criminal act, and if there isn’t then the patient is psychotic.
After watching criminal minds I realized that all of the murders in the show had a motive to kill. None of them just randomly wanted to kill someone or randomly become obsessed with killing. This proves that criminals don’t commit crimes because they were born to do it, they have had something happen to them that possessed them to think it was the right thing to do. These TV shows really were interesting to watch because they were realistic and seemed like they really understood what they were talking about. The information they provided really backed up with all the research I have found. I believe that being a criminal has nothing to do with genetics but it has to do with who you grow up around and who your surround yourself with in your everyday life.
