Initial+Proposal

Initial Proposal  How do Criminal Psychological Profilers, create a profile for a suspect or perpetrator of a crime? The reason I want to do this as a project is because I am going to college for criminology. My main goal in life is to become a profiler for either the FBI or another local department. I really just want to help people by getting the people who don’t treat others right off the street. By doing this project I feel like I will get a sense of what exactly I am getting myself into by going into this as a job field.

 I feel like if I follow what to do exactly on the marking period packets and keep myself up to date and keep working on it a little bit everyday then I will finish this project on time, and since I’m passionate about this topic then it will help in keeping my interest in it and keep working my hardest on it. I think my research will have to do mainly within the FBI and how they do it, I feel like if I look at older crimes, and profiles then that will give me a background on how they put that certain profile together. I think this project will contain a lot of work. There are not a lot of quality sources on this topic because it is not researched or known as much as other topics. My mentor and my topic expert are there to encourage me and keep me going and to not quit and to give additional support and information. I am extremely excited about this project, a little worried about how much work I know has to be done, but overall excited to be the first to explore this topic as a senior seminar project!
