To catch a criminal, you have to think like one.

When there are no further leads to a serial case, the FBI quickly turns to the Behavioural Analysis Unit in Quantico. While regular detectives study the evidence of a crime, this unit looks at the behaviour of the criminal to narrow down the suspect pool. They hunt from the inside out - not examining evidence in a lab, instead studying offenders' behaviour both at the scenes of the crimes and where they live or work in order to see how they think.

In Mandy Patinkin’s final episode of Criminal Minds, the future of the department is in jeopardy as the team faces one of their toughest cases yet.

In Milwaukee, a series of women have been found murdered. The BAU is assigned to the case, but they are short three members: Gideon (Patinkin), who is missing, Hotch (Thomas Gibson), who is on suspension and Prentiss (Paget Brewster), who resigns her commission to join the Foreign Service. Supervisor Strauss (Jayne Atkinson) steps in as lead, but she doesn't handle herself well in the field.
Meanwhile, another woman has been kidnapped, and judging by video footage from her last known location, she was lured by a child decoy. The team formulates a profile for the killer, and recognises that they should be looking for a child who stands out from the crowd.

As the third season of Criminal Minds starts, the elite team of FBI profilers investigate a serial killer who is targeting women on the campus of a small midwestern college.

Criminal Minds revolves around a team which analyses the country's most twisted criminal psyches, anticipating their next moves before they strike again.
Leading the team is academic Jason Gideon (Mandy Pantinkin), the FBI's top behavioural analyst with his right-hand man Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson). Also on the team are Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), the daughter of high-powered diplomats who recently joined the team and must prove her worth; Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), an expert on obsessional crimes; Jennifer 'J.J.' Jareau (A.J. Cook), a confident young agent who acts as the unit liaison for the team; and Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness), a computer wizard who helps research the cases.

CBS is shelving next week's episode of "Criminal Minds" over sensitivity concerns with regards to the Virginia Tech tragedy. A repeat of an earlier installment ("Jones") will run instead.

The episode in question, "Doubt," revolves around a serial killer who is targeting women on a college campus.

The news comes on the heels of FOX's decision earlier this week to pull an episode of "Bones" for similar reasons.

It's still not clear if either the "Bones" or "Criminal Minds" episode will air before the season is out.

Is the second season of Criminal Minds being shown on channel 1? Wasnt the first season on 2? How long has it been going for?
