How a crime can be solved with the use of empathy.

In the serie "The psychology behind empathy" - Veronique Beauprez



Yesterday I looked at  "The Blacklist" - NBC production where  a former U.S. Navy officer turned high-profile criminal, voluntarily surrenders to the FBI after eluding capture for decades. He tells the FBI that he has a list of the most dangerous criminals in the world that he has compiled over the years and is willing to inform on their operations in exchange for immunity from prosecution.

A great show, really, especially when he turns everyone around with his selfconfidence and mindgames. Humour with twisted ingredients...

On a certain moment he tells to the FBI people that they have to think and look into a case with the mind of a criminal.

Pop-up questions arise:

What would the "con" do?
How would he operate when he was tailed by police?
How are his connections with the victim?
....

The empathy way of looking at things or people is here an asset.

A criminal mind shows you not what he or she is planning to do. They are a master of disguise.
Nevertheless an empathic mind wins if he or she also is full of selfconfidence.

Empathy is a strong feature if well and clever used.

It is often confused with soft skills and emotional behaviour but I can assure it is not always the case.

Tonight another episode of The Blacklist where your mind can go into the dark way of doing things. WARNING: only to observe and to solve crimes.

Also interesting to watch:

Break out Kings
Prison break

And look especially how the criminal minds work on a subtle level. It is not what you see but what is underneath that defines the mind.
