What I've Learned So Far

Content: 
1. List at least 3 things you've learned since you started working on your senior project.

something i learned since I started working on my senior project was probably the many jobs in CSI. I didn't think there would be so many like forensics, and jobs within forensics( odontology,  anthropology, photography,  etc.), and criminal psychology. I also learned that it takes a lot of time to solve a case, for example it could take months just to get decent information. and I learned that investigators need to find out the reasons for a crime, like what the criminal is thinking, their motives, and if they were psychologically ill and that's why the committed crimes; basically getting into the criminal's mind.
2. Post evidence of this accomplishment. It can be in the form of a picture, video, document, etc. 

• The crime scene technician is an expert in finding and identifying physical evidence such as hairs, fibers, empty bullet capsules, bloodstained objects, and body fluids which may be found in carpets, on furniture, on walls, etc. (http://www.enotes.com/forensic-science/crime-scene-investigation)
• The investigator interviews witnesses, gathers information from the police on the scene, the crime scene technician, the coroner, pathologist, and other specialists that are present (such as a forensic anthropologist). (http://www.enotes.com/forensic-science/crime-scene-investigation)
• A risk factor for criminality is anything in a persons psychology, developmental or family history that may increase the likelihood that they will become involved in some point in criminal activities. A protective factor is anything in a persons biology, psychology, developmental or family history that will decrease the likelihood that they will become involved in criminal activity.      Risk factors generally include: lower class origin, family of origin, poor personal temperament, lower aptitude, early behavioural histories, poor parenting, school based factors, poor educational/vocational/socioeconomic achievement, poor interpersonal relationships, antisocial associates which support crime, antisocial attitudes/values/beliefs and feelings and psychopathology.
