Challenges
Challenge #1: Trusting People
Challenge #2: Time
Challenge #3: Safety at Risk
I feel that this is another challenge that criminal psychologists may face. The reason that I feel this is because throughout their lives they are studying new kinds of criminals and having to deal with these criminals who have committed serious crimes. When interviewing these criminals and creating their criminal profiles criminal psychologists are usually alone with the criminals in one room things may get scary and you may feel that your safety is at risk. This would be especially because you are sitting a closed room with a criminal and you may never know what is going to happen. As a criminal psychologist on your first day of doing (interrogation and talking to the criminal in order to create a criminal profile) your job and creating a criminal profile may seem to be overwhelming as you may not feel safe with a criminal even though they may be handcuffed because afterall they are a criminal and it also may not be as easy to figure out as to why it is exactly that they had committed their crime because talking to some people may be easy and you may get out a lot of information but when you are talking to someone who many not be particularly willing to share, things may be a lot more harder. Therefor I feel that a criminal psychologist may feel that their safety is in danger because they do not know the criminal and the fact that they are alone with a criminal in a closed room, I mean who wouldn’t be scared. The way in which I think that a criminal psychologist could overcome this challenge is that they could remember that this is their job and that they would have to get used to it because this was going to be their job for the rest of their life. I also feel that a criminal psychologist should not feel scared because they need to understand that there is a lot of security and that they should not feel that their safety is at risk at all.
