To be a criminologist requires knowledge, empathy, sensitivity, willingness, discipline, and interest to make the criminal investigation process the study of indications and evidence at the scene of the event. To be a professional in this area it is not necessary to be a doctor, you can be a professional in other areas of human behavior and mental health.
This work includes the evaluation of living injured (sexual violence, gender violence, traumas, others) and of corpses for violent deaths or suspected of being provoked.
No one assumes what it means to determine it until he is on the side of the victim.
I am not a CSI, but I have collaborated in some cases by making profiles, I am a specialist in NLP, and neurolinguistic programming and for years I have collaborated with some cases through the gender violence foundation, where I live with a multidisciplinary team, who are at the forefront of contributing medical, judicial knowledge, to the service of justice in my city.
Many of these professionals, each in their own area, we have known each other for a long time, are my colleagues at the public university where I work.
I am convinced, Galen, that there are still many good people who want to do things right, to make a difference in this world. I say this because trust has been lost in our institutions, but there are people who represent them worthy to continue working on that purpose.
This multidisciplinary work includes the evaluation of living injured (sexual violence, gender violence, traumas, others) by doctors and of corpses for violent deaths or suspected of being provoked, by forensic doctors and pathologists.
All this is done through indications, that it is related to an "alleged criminal act". This is what will allow establishing if this existed, and will even allow identifying the victim or perpetrator. This is where we enter into context, those of us who profile the victim and perpetrator as a contribution of evidence that serves as a verified sample obtained from an investigation by the specialist of the specific area.
These terms can even be applied to the facts in our daily life Galen, with unfaithful husbands, for example, when they leave evidence that gives indications to the woman who intuitively that they are being unfaithful, and I tell you, this goes up to and including death.
Those of you who read to me, in what everyday situations would you apply them?
The photos on the cover Galen, are a simulation that corresponds to the scene of the event and the demonstration of what Criminalistics is, I have this reference from the expo forensic carried out by criminologists and forensics of the National Forensic Medicine service in my country on its tenth 10th anniversary, in a well-known mall in my city to which I attended with the foundation against gender violence, as guests.
To finish this post, Galen, I could tell you by experience and conviction that we should not be afraid of death; to never start living. We must, from the unconditional love for ourselves and for our lives, smile and be grateful for every moment.
