I have been studying criminal justice for several years now. I received my undergraduate degree in criminal justice and then obtained my law degree. Following that I pursued my Ph.D. in criminology. I enjoy these issues and think they are important for everyone to know about.

As I enjoy criminal justice as a topic, my hobbies tend to revolve around these issues. I enjoy reading mystery and detective stories for the puzzles and the logic games. My favorite movie is Clue, it is very funny, I highly recommend watching it.
