Interests

I am deeply fascinated by criminal profiling and behavioural analysis, with a strong commitment to understanding how trauma, psychological distress, and life events correlate with criminal behaviour I am particularly interested in how accurate and contextually relevant psychological intelligence can inform our understanding of an individual’s decision to engage in criminal acts This analytical interest is not only central to my academic focus in criminology but also reflects the philosophical reasoning skills I developed through my Bachelor of Arts, where I majored in both Criminology and Philosophy
