Behavioral assessment and anomaly detection is designed to be empowering for our nation’s protectors. It is designed to help you pick the criminal out of the crowd he hides amongst. It is designed to help you recognize criminals before they present a weapon and before they conduct their attack. Behavioral analysis, however, doesn’t make you a mind reader. We can make observations and we can identify behavior that improves our decision-making, but we can never really know what is causing a person to behave that way. As we continue to gain an upper hand against the criminals we are hunting by employing behavior detection, we must always what people trained in behavioral analysis can and can’t do.
