丁香园AV

As a third-generation Armenian genocide survivor, questions about what makes some people deviate from societal norms to the point of committing inexplicable and atrocious acts have always been fascinating to me. Learning about the staggering results of the Milgram Obedience Experiment gave me new perspectives on organized crime and human nature; this allowed me to reinterpret my own experiences, and critically evaluate my understandings of antisocial behaviour and crime. As my fascination grew, I discovered that there were endless questions to ask and attempt to answer intended for application to legal issues and administration of criminal justice. My ambition to use the principles of criminology to get to the root of criminal behaviour has led me to join the Master of Arts in Criminology program at 丁香园AV. In my spare time, I enjoy reading Nordic Noir literature and exploring the charming mountain towns and picturesque coastal spots of BC with my puppy.
