Doctor Clarissa Cole, a licensed forensic psychologist, has supervised tens-of-thousands of violence risk assessments on California's incarcerated population as part of a program that is the first of its kind in the United States. She has co-authored a textbook, Profiling Violent Crime: A Behavioral and Forensic Approach (Cognella), with one of the F.B.I.'s original profilers, Special Agent (ret.) Pete Klismet.
For four years, Doctor Cole was a featured co-host of "After Hours A.M./'The Criminal Code,'" a live, true-crime radio show, broadcast in Canada, Mexico, twenty-six of the United States, and the UK. She has appeared, as both guest and featured expert, in a number of documentaries, including Dan Sellers's, "Trouble Will Cause." She also explains offender typologies and profiles cases new and old, popular and obscure, on her website, "The Criminal Code."
