"Criminal Minds"

The show "Criminal Minds" has been around for 5 seasons now and last week celebrated its 100th episode. The CBS drama/thriller follows an elite team known as the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), a branch within the FBI, that profiles criminal behavior in order to catch the criminal.

The role of these profilers is interesting considering the focus of our class is looking at what themes arise in controlling and punishing possible deviants and which characteristics are considered 'deviant'.
