Oh, and in addition to the John Douglas site I already mentioned, there's also these links I have saved on my delicious:
The IMFDB entry for Criminal Minds (http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Criminal_Minds) (All the guns we've seen on the show, and who carries what. Great for that moment when you're ten pages in and go "shit, what the hell kind of gun does Morgan carry anyway?".)
A write-up of a lecture given by Mary Ellen O'Toole, former member of the BAU (http://fabrisse.livejournal.com/162613.html) (Has details on psychopaths, risk factors, and the myth of "stressors".)
Kaigou's basics of street-mentality (http://kaigou.dreamwidth.org/140665.html) (This is a first-hand account of what it's like living on the streets. It covers everything from weapons to everyday life to economics; the basics like "why would this person pick a knife over a gun to defend themselves" to a breakdown of how hard it is to have a weapon on you at all times. It's excellent for characterization.)
