TLDR: JCS Criminal Psychology and their 2nd channel JCS have some fascinating videos. Just be aware, don't get to attached. This is like that amazing TV show that got cancelled half way through season one for no good reason and while there's no story left hanging to worry about, you'll still wish there was more.

JCS - Criminal Psychology wasn't the first true crime channel to show up on YouTube but they were the forerunners to focus on the interrogation and psychology not only of the perpetrator but of the interrogator. Instead of building up suspense and drama through telling the story of the act they looked at the why and how through interrogation investigators are able to build their case. Sadly that was at least in part why the channel was practically snuffed out.

YouTube reasons that the JCS channel continually breaks their community guidelines and yet there are so many "JCS Inspired" channels producing far more graphic content seemingly perfectly fine under the same guidelines. The one aspect that no other channel has been able to match JCS on is the interrogation process, tactics used to trip suspects up, techniques employed to keep suspects talking.

Two of the channels most well known videos is "The Legend of Jeff", a video about a drug addict suspected of armed robbery who refused to answer questions and was later released as they had no evidence he was involved and "Guilty until proven innocent", a video about two innocent men who were very nearly wrongly convicted for what they were being accused of due to police being to focused on the people in front of them and to quick to have their suspect fit their evidence.

In my opinion it's either YouTube have something or someone very rotten going on in the policy team that have taken an unfair disliking to the JCS channel or it is this insight into the good AND the bad side of law enforcement and interrogation(in particular with regards to your rights) that isn't "allowed" for some curious reason. To be honest it's probably both. JCS channel is far from the only one that shows signs of having to play to a different set of rules.
