According to Jim Clemente, retired FBI behavioral analyst and criminal profiler, when it comes to the "nature vs. nurture" debate, "genetics loads the gun, personality and psychology aim it, and your experiences pull the trigger..." As a criminal profiler, it was his job to catch murderers, serial killers and rapists and pick up the slack where forensic evidence failed. Clemente explains how he went about his job tracking down some of the world's most dangerous people. 

Clemente is a retired FBI behavioral analyst and criminal profiler, and co-host of "Real Crime Profile," a true crime podcast distributed by Wondery. For more information about his career, go to www.jimclemente.com/, or follow him on twitter at twitter.com/JimClemente

    “I like to say that genetics load the gun, personality and psychology aim it, and your experiences pull the trigger” I love that, well said

    You can watch FBI agent while another FBI agent watching you. What a time to be alive!
  • @verakali6061
    Mindhunter is SUCH a good show about just this. The creation of the Behavior Analysis Unit in the FBI and the interviewing/profiling of these killers.
  • The DC sniper actually had a target and end goal of killing his ex wife. He was using these random murders as a cover-up so it would not be traced back to him. RIP all his victims and their families.
  • @mariam-ox4mj
    did y’all know this specific fbi agent actually helped for accuracy of criminal minds
  • @maxithalo7796
    I like that when analizing, hes constantly saying things like "may have" "appears to be" "about" even though hes been given facts, hes still giving it the benefit of the doubt, which is good, innocent until proven guilty
  • Love how dude looks like he’s doing the most intense wall sit for the whole video
  • Stuff like this makes me want me to walk around with a bulletproof vest
  • @keb8907

  • im a law enforcement officer in argentina studying to get my criminal investigation degree..this man just blew me away with his expose on criminal behaviour analysis...just beautiful!
  • @RLyon
    .... The way they touched these real cases, so technical, summarized in details, and under the total expertise of our narrator .. Made this report a short documentary, a good piece to watch!
