The Forensics & Criminology Students

the forensics & criminology students

forming theories about well-known cold cases

listening to your favorite true crime podcasts

a stack of mystery novels by your bed

searching for patterns and connections that others might have missed

photographs pinned to your bulletin board with notes written in sharpie

thick case files

a fascination with the human potential for good and evil

books on psychology, anatomy, and law stacked on your desk

studying the sources of human behavior

meticulously collecting samples for analysis

laughing at the inaccuracies in crime dramas, but watching them anyway

a delicate touch, lifting fingerprints and fiber samples without disturbing the crime scene

the steady hum of lab machinery

debating various theories on why people act how they do

safety goggles and crisp latex gloves

memorizing the details of famous murder cases

combing through databases and CCTV footage for information that might be useful

analyzing the sociopolitical aspects of crime

a notepad and pen tucked into the pocket of your coat

the high wail of sirens in the distance

learning to perform accurate psychological assessments

rewatching interviews, looking for inconsistencies that might inspire further investigation

a desire to understand people

newspaper clippings, bold headlines in black and white
