    Any one else think that JCS Criminal Psychology youtube channel is kinda sus? It's been really popular it seems, the youtube algorithm practically spams it into my recommended feed whenever I watch anything even tangentially related to true crime

    I've only seen a couple videos so maybe I'm off base. But I've gotten the impression that the idea that "criminal psychology" exists at all is pseudoscience quack shit. It's really unnerving to me how the guy analyzes interrogations involving a clearly nervous suspect and tries to paint a picture of their character and whether they're guilty or not based on subtle, seemingly meaningless facial expressions and mannerisms.

      JCS criminal psychology crao is hilarious but also dangerous. "The cop does the flingle flangle, this gets the suspect to shit their pants on command revealing the location of the murder weapon"

      Rip when people absorb that crap as fact and start using it on random people they know.
