What truly captures the attention when studying crime?
Picture an urban street corner with only the faint glow of a streetlamp illuminating the scene. You stand there, observing the flickering shadows cast by the leaves of a nearby tree, as the city’s distant hum surrounds you. As you look up, the night sky is a sea of darkness with a handful of stars piercing through.
Your friends and colleagues gather around with you: the psychology major is on your left, sharing insights on criminal behavior; the law enforcement officer is on your right, recounting tales of criminals caught and victims saved.
