Bartol & Bartol's Criminal Behavior: A Psychological Approach is also pretty excellent and might be more useful. As an added bonus, it's a pretty easy read. If you want a more challenging text (it's dense but very informative!), I'd suggest Andrews & Bonta's Psychology of Criminal Conduct. Really, almost anything by Andrews & Bonta is useful.
Or just, you know, come to my university and take the Criminal Behavior course with the irl version of Reid. :D
Oh, and I should add, sometimes I find myself yelling at the tv, "THAT'S NOT RIGHT!" when CM presents some sort of information, so I'd go the geeky route and do real research over using what the show tells you about criminal behavior.
