[Well, Neville can't really argue with that. It was a bad night for everyone involved, even Snape. Especially Snape. Neville is a bit vindictively pleased about his (rather messy) part in that while simultaneously trying to tell himself not to be such a prat about it.
It's not an argument he's winning against himself.]
No, not really. Aurors get assigned to do what they're best at, I think, but there aren't enough of them to split up into specific divisions like that. It's a rather difficult field to get into, and it's dangerous, and the life-expectancy isn't precisely very high. [And then sometimes you get tortured into insanity by Barty Crouch, Jr.] They're not the only law enforcement, of course, but they're the only ones who've been trained to go after witches and wizards messing around with dark magic.
[AKA the sort of people who would be doing serial killing. Neville finally stops worrying at his nail, and takes a better look around the kitchen. More of the strange "technology" stuff everywhere, to the kid who is used to iceboxes and cauldrons and writing with a quill.] You're a Muggle, right? I mean, you haven't got any magic back at home? Is this all very strange to you?
well not with that attitude!
