"Mind Hunter" is a quick and easy read. The fact that John Douglas was born in NY, raised on Long Island, and that his first post out of the FBI Academy was in Detroit is an interesting aside for me.
Mr. Douglas states that when making arrests 'he soon became interested in the thought process that went into a crime.' This interest in the thought process leads to 'profiling' cases and then seeing noticeable patterns that in turn leads to 'Proactive Policing'. I am and have always been a strong advocate of Proactive Policing. To me Reactive only Policing is lazy and does not serve anyone well...except maybe the criminal. In my opinion if you only want to answer calls you should become a Fireman not a Police Officer.
