# criminology — Legal Counsel

For Legal Counsel, 'criminology' isn’t about becoming a detective; it’s understanding *why* people commit crimes to better advise clients and anticipate legal challenges. Daily work involves analyzing police reports & investigative files not just for factual accuracy, but also considering potential biases in investigation stemming from understandings (or misunderstandings) of criminal motivations – e.g., was evidence gathered assuming a specific type of offender? This impacts case strategy, particularly in areas like fraud, white-collar crime, or defending against accusations where intent is key. Tools include access to academic research on behavioral patterns, understanding common defense strategies based on psychological profiles (e.g., diminished capacity), and familiarity with forensic psychology reports.
