John Edward Douglas (born

June 18, 1945) is a retired special agent

and unit chief in the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation

(FBI). He was one of the first criminal profilers and has written books on criminal psychology. Douglas joined the FBI in 1970 and his first assignment was

in Detroit, Michigan. In the field, he served as a

sniper on the local FBI SWAT team and later became a hostage negotiator. He

transferred to the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit (BSU) in 1977

where he taught hostage negotiation and applied criminal psychology at the FBI Academy

in Quantico, Virginia to new FBI special agents,

field agents, and police officers from all over the United

States. He created and managed the FBI's Criminal Profiling Program and was

later promoted to unit chief of the Investigative Support Unit, a division of

the FBI’s National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC). While

traveling around the country providing instruction to police, Douglas began

interviewing serial killers and other violent sex offenders

at various prisons. He interviewed some of the most notable violent criminals

in recent history as part of the study, including David

Berkowitz, Ted Bundy, John Wayne

Gacy, Charles Manson, Lynette

Fromme, Sara Jane Moore, Edmund Kemper,

James Earl

Ray, Sirhan Sirhan, Richard Speck,

Donald Harvey,

Gary Ridgway

and Joseph Paul Franklin. He used the

information gleaned from these interviews in the book Sexual Homicide:

Patterns and Motives, followed by the Crime Classification Manual (CCM).

Douglas later received two Thomas Jefferson Awards for academic excellence from

the University of Virginia for his work on the

study.
