-Researching mental disorders and homicide cases really catch my attention.  
-These cases make me use my questioning skills and i wonder things such as "How could this have been prevented?" , "What caused the suspect to commit such an act?", and "How could someone prevent this crime from happening a second time?" 
-^That would be where the career I am researching, forensic psycology, comes into play.
-I would like to be able to evaluate a suspect and determine if there's any way I could help improve the way the person acts and thinks in order to make them more fit for socitey and possibly save someone from what this person could do to them without the correct treatment and help. ]]> 2017-09-07 12:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffanym354/u73adq1eir56/wish/185461894 Entry level education requirements tiffanym354 https://padlet.com/tiffanym354/u73adq1eir56/wish/185463673 - A degree in psychology and human behavior from an accredited university
