How Criminology Sparked My Interest 03/ 21/15

In this post, I simply want to talk about why criminology is so intriguing to me. It all started with my mom. She was always watching crime scene shows when I was younger that then sparked my interest. I began to watch these shows during my free time and I was hooked. For instance, I am obsessed with the show Hawaii 5-O that plays on CBS. I really like the mystery of not knowing who committed the crime. Because of the mystery, it allows me to formulate my own hypothesis as to who the criminal is. Watching these types of shows makes me think creatively and makes me really pay attention to the details to try and figure out the culprit. Furthermore, seeing these shows has made me think about what career path I want to take for my future. Although this career path is not my first choice, it is another field of work that I think I would really enjoy. The really fascinating aspect of finding the criminal is all of the forensics and detective work that goes into catching the bad guy. All of the science and the people and the time that goes into putting a bad guy away is incredible. It is a hard job to have, but I think there are a lot of rewards that can come from putting away a bad guy that was causing harm to society. I want to further delve into the science and forensics of the field of criminology throughout my blog. I am hoping to expand my knowledge of these aspects.
