I find that aspect of crime study fascinating, too. Not even the actual profiling part itself, just...going back into these criminals' lives in general and learning more about them and what led them to such a dark and horrifc path, if there were any chances or possibilities they could've gone a different route (and why they didn't/couldn't take them, for whatever reason). I think it's an interesting exploration of societal issues in general, and why the mind works or doesn't work a certain way. That's the part of the cases I like seeing this show touch on the most, more so than seeing them actually do their profiling job.

And when I watch true crime shows, the part that always interests me the most is the lead up to the tragic event. What made this marriage/family start falling apart? Why did this "seemingly together" person suddenly snap and go on a crime spree? How did people around them handle any warning signs? Etc., etc.

I do find forensics interesting, too, though, in the sense that it's pretty amazing the strides that have been made in DNA analysis/gathering and other techological means of collecting evidence. One little rug fiber can make or break some aspect of a case sometimes. I think that's pretty remarkable. And it's interesting (and sometimes frightening) to see how police investigations can either help or greatly damage a case, too.
