Thread: Криминолог - что это такое?

I'm actually interested in profiling too. You may think of it as of forensic psychology. It seems like an interesting field, even if stressful like anything directly connected to crime fighting.

As for its usefulness there are different opinions. Some researches believe that it's "гадание на кофейной гуще" (reading tea leaves) more than anything, and profilers are wrong more often then public can imagine. There are too many generalizations (for example, a stereotypical serial killer for a long time was considered to be a white single man about 35 yo - statistics proves that it's never that simple).


But it seems your friend wishes to be a forensic artist, which is a pretty safe office job. Why are you against it?

Apparently I misunderstood her. She wants to be what you just described.

Мы сообщили об этом вчера. Ей страшно начать карьеру слишком поздно. Ей 26 лет, и 1.5 до концы текущей степени. Потом хочет поступить на учебы Криминолога. Значит что она будет 31 когда получится степень. Это слишком поздно чтоб начать карьеру?
