James Brussel

James Brussel is the psychiatrist discussed in 121.极简法医鉴识手册：一切犯罪，皆有痕迹 through the “Mad Bomber” case. The episode presents his profile as strikingly accurate on the suspect’s age, ethnicity, living situation, work habits, and clothing, while still placing profiling inside a broader evidence system.

In the wiki, Brussel grounds Criminal Profiling As Probabilistic Inference. Profiling can help investigators form hypotheses, but the source’s larger forensic frame means it should point search and questioning rather than replace physical evidence, corroboration, and procedure.
