Could you be a criminal case cracker?

Are you ready to solve the mysteries of crime and the minds of those who carry it out?

In the dark of the underworld only the criminologist sees clearly. Assisting police and government in tackling crime, criminologists help in diverting criminal intent before it matures into a criminal act. Though their actions may be considered repellent or absorbing, criminals are as fascinating as ever, and today's law-enforcement agencies are equipped with the most modern techniques in order to catch them.

Criminology is simply the scientific study of criminals and the crimes they carry out, examined alongside society's reaction to the offences committed and how it treats the offender. Professional criminologists explore patterns of criminal behaviour in order to understand the reasons behind them and to determine what steps can be taken to minimise their occurrence in society. A complex topic such as this looks to many related fields for explanation, inspiration and remedies. With responses to errant actions ranging from psychoanalysis, through politically rigorous criticism of the system right along to simply putting the villains behind bars, it's an inexhaustible and deeply absorbing field
