My topic for my Senior Project is Criminology. Like many others, I am fascinated with crime shows like Law and Order: SVU, CSI: NY and Criminal Minds. I was originally interested in the science involved in these shows and crimes, like DNA, fingerprinting or blood analysis. But later, I found out I was more interested in the "Why?" I want to explore more behind the reasons why people commit crimes. I know that real life criminology differs greatly from the television, but it really has opened my eyes to a different side of crime.
After this Senior Project, and Senior year in general, I hope to have a better understanding of the way people think, and how they act upon their thoughts. I also hope to major in either Criminology, Forensic Psychology or Law. I'd talk about plans after college, but I'm just trying to get through this year first...
