PETALING JAYA: The Criminal Investigation Department’s (CID) plan to form a behavioural science unit (BSU) has got the backing of criminology experts, who say it will strengthen the police force’s capacity to tackle crime and improve investigations.

Criminologist Datuk Dr P. Sundramoorthy (pic) of Universiti Sains Malaysia’s (USM) Centre for Policy Research said the BSU could help with analysing crime scenes, the behaviour of offenders, and profiling victims.
