BAU is a specialized unit within the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC) that provides behavioral-based support to law enforcement agencies. The BAU focuses on understanding criminal behavior and assisting in solving cases, particularly those involving unusual or repetitive violent crimes, terrorism, and time-sensitive matters.

BAU-1 recently released Beyond Belief: Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism in America (Attached). This monograph draws on interviews of former violent extremists, the BAU's experience with preventative counter-terrorism investigations, and post-attack analysis of ideologically motivated offenders to offer behavioral considerations for CVE practitioners.
