- 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 / 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
interesting that he said....genetics(DNA) load the gun...
The typical saying is genetics loads the gun and eviroment pulls the trigger. This dude obviously makes a point to break down into specifics and defines those well. I really enjoyed it.
Elle 👏
@Please Complete All Fields Because when you mention genetics/DNA with crime you open a can of worms where people start throwing terms like racism around...
@Please Complete All Fields You obviously can not read...All I wrote is when you connect Genetics/DNA and crime there are people (of the leftist persuasion and race baiters) who will immediately call that racist. You can't be that dense not to know that. The same thing occurs when you bring up issues like people's IQ.
You can watch FBI agent while another FBI agent watching you.
What a time to be alive!

AdamTaker would you please tilt the screen a bit to the left, I’m having a little trouble seeing it with the glare. Thx!
AdamTaker 😂😛
Why is this the top comment. Its a mark of the autistic narcissism and selfishness of Americana
While an NSA agent watches both of us! Peak dystopia.
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.
its based on the book by John Douglas, who's the fbi agent who interviewed the killers and really began this whole thing :)
I loved that show and hate that Netflix didn’t make more seasons
I was not happy when they cancelled it 😢
@@rheverend those monsters killed mostly for fame .. and youre sad that netflix doesnt give them the fame they wanted??? giving them fame encourages other serial killers out there because "maybe one day they will make a series about me" is in their head . go see a shrink if you need that type of content so bad .
Holden ❤️ ❤
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.
Did he kill her?
@@inmypjs1426 No. He got arrested before then thankfully.
Makes no sense
@@masqerader he was trying to hide his true intentions by killing people with no relation to her
If I was a cop chasing him and he got the wife, the moment I learned her ex was an ex military sniper I'd have had him in cuffs. Stupid plan
I could listen to him talk Behavioral analysis all day
Meggles Ahnleh Keyi Thanks Meggles!

You should make videos on topic and upload them to your channel.
I agree. I wished this video was much much longer!
I find profiling so interesting, ever since Silence of the Lambs. Ended up getting a dual psych/CJ degree a couple years ago bc the field is so fascinating.
He has a podcast called Real Crime Profile where he does just that
He’s a very charismatic speaker. I like his delivery.
Yes, and it comes with free shipping
I love his nose.
@@hamzailarzeg he's compensating for something. He uses sophisticated words which may indicate he-
I'd like to hear some of his darker experiences and how he handled them. It would be interesting I think.
He's a profiler he's trained for this😭 I'd also like to be a profiler when I finish college
Love how dude looks like he’s doing the most intense wall sit for the whole video
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
"innocent until proven guilty" has zero to do with why he's using that language.
@@Indubidably0 These clowns think they have become the masters of psychology and reasoning by watching this
it shows humility
No, at this point he is building a THEORY (which an initial stage of profiling/investigation) - which is why he uses this CORRECT language.
Stuff like this makes me want me to walk around with a bulletproof vest
seriously i think we all feel this 😭
Your head still a good target for a fatal attack so dont forget your helmet. 😇😇
Most Bulletproof vests don't stop higher callber bullets like I think the AR 15s that Lee Malvo and Muhammad was using those sort of guns I could be wrong
Lady Love atleast what the Army has told us was they give us IBA which has plates and its good enough to stop one just one bullet😆
Stuff like this makes me wanna study psychology and become a profiler
did y’all know this specific fbi agent actually helped for accuracy of criminal minds
I see his name in the credits all the time
I was wondering that because he mentioned the death card and there was a death card on the show
He didn't just "help accuracy," he produced and wrote for the show. Lol, give the man his due...
NO WAY
He also participated in a documentary about JonBenet's death
If I was a psycho killer I’d watch this along with a lot of others like this for tips and things to avoid
@Jonathan Colatorti How does it not help ?
in many cases it makes them more predictable... Remember to actually commit the crimes you need to be a bit crazy. Take Ed Camper, he actually gave himself up to the police.
So, in reality, random killers can be unlucky but are VERY hard to predict and anticipate... Someone like the unabomber always ends up making a mistake and because of their methods are very easy to track once they make that one mistake.
@@elmaxidelsur Thank you
@Jonathan Colatorti Thanks
@@elmaxidelsur Ted Kaczynski was caught when his brother read Unabomber's Manifesto and pointed out that many of used expressions were used by his brother Ted.
I've been in law enforcement for almost 15 years. Behavioral analysis is always been one of my absolute favorite topics and this video was phenomenal
How is you being alone for some period of time related to this being your favourite topic though?
I wish it was a 1 hour documentary. I could watch this dude all day
Trey Grogan go watch mindhunter on Netflix
Trey Grogan he’s got his own podcast
CrusaderGaming he has a very podcast-y voice haha
He did a documentary on Jonbenet Ramsey which was brilliant
Me watching this at night time quickly drawing the curtains and turning on all lights.
No one:
Me at 3am and after watching criminal minds: im gonn b a fbi agent
Same 😭
@Michael Terrell II Twas a joke.
YES
@Michael Terrell II Fair enough. Am stupid as well.
when i actually have been wanting to be an FBI agent since i was 7 HAHAH
So, a Mind Hunter season 3 would be pretty neat
For real. Everyone keeps talking about criminal minds, but MindHunter is another great show that dives deep into this stuff.
Ikr 💯
it would
That would be amazing. Mind hunter was incredible.
@@WhiteWalter6211 i think it's because this guy helped write criminal minds and is a consultant for it.
If I ever decide to attend college in this field;I would want an Instructor like this man.
I just binged criminal minds again so I’m basically an expert at this already
Isabelle Nazaire-Dramiga 🤣
hahah right?? Imma go watch "The Mentalist" again..
Isabelle Nazaire-Dramiga mind hunter ™️
Criminal minds is the bomb! Great show
Isabelle Nazaire-Dramiga not sure if u know this but the actor of criminal minds quit: he said every episode was gruesome violence against women over and over. It made him sick. He said it had nothing to do with solving crime: but rather to show gruesome violence against women almost as entertainment and to desensitize the people. And i agree.
There's no need to show the violence. There's sadists out there that get off on watching that and then it doesnt stimulate them anymore so they go out and do it: example: ted bundy.
dont watch that crap.
This guy needs his own podcast or show.
Ulysses Velazquez he has 2. Real Crime Profile and Best CaseWorst Case. Both Podcasts
Ulysses Velazquez I have three podcasts: Real Crime Profile, Best Case Worst Case & Locked Up Abroad. And check out the notes above ^
Get him on Joe Rogan.
@@jimclemente4299 excellent I'm so glad I scrolled through the comments. You definitely have a new follower x
He’s behind Criminal Minds too
.... 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!
He's so elegant. Like the Anton Ego of violent heinous crimes.
I feel like this guy is a mix between Reid and hotch
yep yep
I have been looking for someone that commented this😂😂
And Gideon
YES
yes
This guy explains things perfectly. He's a great speaker, you can tell he's a very intelligent man
Thanks
Even a very intelligent man struggles to articulate himself without practise - recall that this man has most likely held dozens of presentations with the exact same info
And a gigantic nose for crime sniffing.. he’s a beast
@Catch_Me_If_You_Can Your intlegent reasoning can't be argued.
@Catch_Me_If_You_Can what. Genetics play a huge role
This was amazing - please make more of this specific Tradecraft.
The way this man explains things is phenomenal
*If you guys want to hear more of this guy he has 3 Podcasts!*
*• Real Crime Profile*
*• Best Case Worst Case*
*• Locked up Abroad*
Thank you, sorry I'm a little late.
Forever Teal where can i listen to this
Angel I listened through spotify, but i’m sure it’s available on platforms where podcasts are available!
yea if you have the podcast app that comes on all iphones it’s on there, with a lot of other crime podcasts. True crime all the time is one I would recommend but they’re not experts lol
thank you!
I'd love to sit down for coffee with this guy, he's like a treasure trove of fascinating information.
He does a podcast with Laura Richards and Lisa Zambetti called Real Crime Profile.
If you this you'll love their podcast 😊
Marissa Hammer Thanks! I don’t drink coffee but maybe I’ll start a Vlog...

Extremely insightful and interesting video Jim 👌
May I ask what You initially studied to get into your field of expertise?
Shane Golledge Not Clemente obviously but he was a prosecutor before joining the FBI.
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!
I'm not a fan of crime and serial killers stories however, I do find it fascinating that these profilers do what they do! I also easily see patterns in people's behavior that most people don't. Jim explains a lot. Thanks for the video.
POV: you just finished criminal minds and don’t know what to do with yourself
Watch it again, thats what i did :)
OMG SPOT ON😂
THE ACCURACY IN THIS COMMENT
yep
NCIS. Watch it. You’ll love it
Agent Hotchner looks different here..
LMFAOO I CAN'T-
funfact this guy actually helped write criminal minds
This one is super educational! Videos like these should be watched frequently!
such an inspirational, experienced, smart, wise and intelligent man. my jaw is on the floor. this is so fascinating.
This video makes me realize how accurately Criminal Minds depicted this stuff
Allie Nelson he is a consultant on that show that’s probably why lol
same!!
No mention of mind hunter?
Rossy Reynoso oooh I didn’t know that, but for a while I thought the bau was fake. I’m glad it’s real
What made me realize how accurate Criminal Minds is, was when I read the profile on the FBI website for the Amerithrax (2001 Anthrax attack) criminal/s(?).
no one:
*me after watching one episode of criminal minds:*
John 12:46
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

Dat sounds dope ast 💯 no 🧢
Yasss!
Sounds like an Onion plot.
If you enjoy this video and you like true crime podcasts I’d recommend Real crime profile. Jim is one of the one of the hosts of the podcast with another former criminal behavior analysis and casting director for Criminal Minds.
Anastasia Khaustova THANK. YOU.
Thanks for the recommendation, I love true crime podcasts but I've never heard of this one!
Jim cant swim is an awesome amazing true crime breakdown like this RUclips channel highly highly recommend if you like this type of video you'll love jim cant swim.
he also hosts a show called Best Case Worse Case with Francey Hakes, they have people who have had or have a career in law enforcement and they explain a case that they've worked on. At the end they say whether it was a best case or a worst case for them and why. It's very good!
If this video had to many facts for you and not enough vocal fry, you should certainly listen to My Favorite Murder with Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgariff. SSDGM!
I really enjoyed this video. Very informative and well presented.
enjoyed immensely, I wonder how accurate was his profile in the double murder they asked him to analyze would have been great to have that revealed
I looked it up, really interesting case
@@jackkinder849 You looked it up, and didn't say how it's called? Why bother writng a comment then?
Indeed.
I’d love to hear the story of a profiler that investigated a crime where the profiling was wrong.
He'll say, well, mistakes are made sometimes!🤣🤣🤣
Well I guess he was wrong in thinking the sniper would be white
@@Navets777 I will, thanks!
Criminal profilers are right about 66% of the time. The accuracy of profilers a lot of the time is questionable.
@@mymy1646 and often times they actively hinder the case by making a profile that's wrong. Most obvious examples being the Unabomber and BTK. Behavioural analysis (Not behavioural science as it used to be called) is so overblown in movies and TV where they make profilers out to be some kind of psychic
he sounds so passionate I would love to have a job like that.
No u woulld not you'll get traumatised
@@mickeyscents9094 everyone is different you dont know if she gets traumatized
I’d love to to have you as my wife.
You should take a career test. It might help channel you to find a job that you are passionate about
Well, this is an encouraging comment thread.
The way he speaks & carries his sentences with such elegance and his vocabulary is astounding.
I'd love to see more of this guy reviewing other past crime scenarios
Thats right Mr. Holden.
What 😂

"Genetics loads the gun, his psychology aims it, and the environment pulls the trigger"
-Jason Gideon, Criminal Minds: Season 2, Episode 23, Minute 26
I kind of wonder how many times they've accidentally misled the investigators by making a profile that doesn't match up with the actual perpetrator... kind of like a false positive. Is there a success / failure ratio on profiling somewhere?
I wonder that too but I think their compulsion and habits can still show through with a deliberate goose chase. I think it also depends if the killer is more organized or disorganized and new/stupid.
@@a.l.michael6240 True. Still, no system is 100% accurate, since they have to go by predictions based on what has been observed in the past. A truly anomalous individual would lead them to draw the wrong conclusions.
the profile is constantly changing, that's why there is a preliminary profile etc, but yeah it should evolve as they case progresses.
Criminal profiling has a limited accuracy, but as the subject of the video said, it is good for generating leads. Think of it like a starting point rather than finding the specific criminal
“Successful” profilings only have a 50% percent accuracy because no person is definite or exactly like another. For example, Ed Kemper statistically should have been a short, low intelligence man based on how he killed his first victims (blitz style with a gun). He was 6’9” and had an IQ of around 145.
These are scary stories, but it's comforting to know that very smart people are doing their best to thwart most of them before they can happen.
Im taking forensics psychology course and i find this video very fascinating and insightful. You can tell how passionate he is with his job!
I’m so glad you guys invited him. I watched his document on JonBenet Ramsey and i was really impressed with his knowledge and professionalism
marysia strulak what’s the documentary called?
Sarah B the case of JonBenet Ramsey
Next up: Jeffrey Epstein explains how to make a murder look like a suicide
Gregory Edward Don’t think he’s the guy that’s good at that :0 need the people that did it haha
He's very clever. He made his suicide look like a murder.

Jim: hello my dear child to profiling world
@@tilleye3774 copy paste much?
I consider myself a regular nice woman who learned that criminals think differently. It is hard to understand someone's evil thinking, but your lecture helped me to see and realize the need to be wise and safe. Thank you
Jim Clemente always has such great information. He always has such great information. I highly recommend the podcast Real Crime Profile that Jim Clemente Co-hosts with Laura Richards and Lisa Zambetti.
I never realized older people tend to use the word press while younger people tend to use the word media. Wow
what do you mean ?? they are different words... media is anything you see that has information on it. the press means the news (aka printing press)
That's why I love “Criminal Minds“ (for which Clemente wrote some awesome scripts btw) so much: it is interesting and fascinating and differentiaring and obviously based on REAL FBI techniques. Thanks for rhe insight!
So I guess you are not a 40 year old male with a grudge.
Excellent presentation. What a great teacher and speaker.
I am the only one who’s incredibly happy to see an Italian-American doing these videos? It wasn’t too long ago that we were all marginalized as crooks and mafia.

He was also a District attorney before FBI. His scores for FBI tests were never before seen apparently. what a mind!!!
Lord-Phoenix i swear!!!
LMAFO HONESTLY
Cmc cmc oop Hotchner in real life since he was a prosecutor before his FBI job
He's amazing at finding cold blooded killers, but can he find the legs of his chair? I for one cannot.
@Freddy Brainy then shut up
KatherineLaFaith 101 🥴
I was wondering about that too xP.
A very intelligent man. He makes the information so accessible to the viewer.
So much great detail. Love it
The way his body completely hides the chair he's sitting on (at least at the end), it looked like he was just sitting in mid-air. It was odd looking.
Jim Clemente: Uses advanced psychological knowledge combined with a deep understanding of criminology to profile and catch criminals.
Criminal Minds: "The unsub killed the victim then dressed him in a Tutu and stuffed a slipper in his mouth. Therefore he must've been beat as a child with a slipper while forced to wear a Tutu. Babygirl pull up all results of tutu beating cases in the last 20-30 years."
the last sentence has me dead bye
BABYGIRL FNDBSBSHS
last sentence is what morgan wouldve definitely said to garcia
THE ACCURACY 😭
“Tutu beating cases” LMAOOO GOODBYE
This fascinates me how brilliant this investigating is.
More of this guy please!
This guy has my dream job, it was fascinating to see all the information he knows! Super admirable.
Hope everything goes well with your journey at becoming a profiler
@James Bond i wanna become a forensic pathologist and these kind of jobs fascinate me so nope I'm not
That’s admirable.. I just hope you can get passed the fbis behavioral science unit..and listen to the tapes of serial murders confessions. And all that ..I was like it’s okay I can take it.. made only some research on it and just stayed away; it so creeped me out.
@James Bond shut up
I find it unnerving that there are people out there who could tell your whole character with a full hints
It's profilling. 80% it's accurate, but doesn't mean it could tell you exactly who are you or the offender. Otherwise, there won't be any unsolved cases.
Unnerving huh? People love telling lies about themselves.
I wrote an essay for my psychology class on the nature vs nature argument on serial killers and I used Jim’s quote in it:)
Such a insightful episode
Jim should discuss his thoughts on the show Criminal Minds
He writes for it and is a Producer, i Bet he likes it
Wazo Oza oh I didn’t know lol
Yes! And Minhunter and Hannibal
It looks like he is pretend sitting in mid air 😂
Ha! I can't unsee it now, you're right 🤣
bascoaful ! exactly what I was thinking every wide shot of him 🤣🤣🤣
I'm profiling him, only organized offenders levitate
Loooool
I can watch this guy all day- great stuff!
One of the best videos in this website
It’d be really cool if he did another video breaking down how accurate criminal minds actually is
He is a writter and producer of the series, so problaby the show it's really accurate but with more dosis of drama
Whenever I listen to his podcasts, he inspires me to keep going in my education and career goals. Currently studying criminal justice and biology to start my forensics career or become an investigator. Not sure yet but he reminds me why I’m going for this goal!
jazzmine rodriguez what’s his podcasts
@@monkeyape456 real crime profile, for example
You know you watched too much crime documentaries when you can recognise the killers' pictures by sight alone.
anyone that studies the intellects of a person and behaviours is extremely smart, especially this man, the way he talks is amazing
This guy needs his own channel..
What I love about this man is that he is not only calm, but extremely informative. He doesn't use his emotions to get in the way of what he does. And that in itself is exactly why he is so good at what he does.
Well duh! This job does not involve emotions BY DEFAULT! Analysis relies on mind which goes without saying... Why would he or anyone in his position ''use his emotions'' at the job? What a redundant comment. It's just called doing one's job...
Highly recommend his podcast Real Crime Profile. They focus on current high profile cases and it’s such an interesting listen.
I'm currently binge watching criminal minds and i knew it was him in one of the episodes of season 11. So cool!
me knowing all of this bec he literally taught it to me throughout criminal minds 👁👄👁
I don't know but how he delivers everything is so soothing.
Jim's ability to speak is incredible.
Great techniques, amazingly explained
If I could go back and choose a different career path, it would be criminal profiling. So compelling, and a job that makes a difference.
Never too late

Rinnstwist that’s awesome, thanks for the info
Ye criminal minds is definitely based on real events
Nils Sjöberg i know ur being sarcastic so I just wanna add on to ur comment bc it’s honestly an amazing, albeit slightly unrealistic show because they capture mainly using the profile but profiles are usually just leads irl - it’s more unpredictable and the success rates solely based on the profile are a lot lower than they seem on the show
