The Science And Limits Of Criminal Profiling

11 minutes | Sunday, November 2, 2025

Criminal profiling sits at the crossroads of science, psychology, and storytelling, but how much of it really works and why is there so much public fascination around these killers? We trace its origins from the hunt for Jack the Ripper during the 19th century in London to the data-driven age of artificial intelligence policing. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
