Hello, my name is Melvin Perez. I’m a student at the John Jay School of Criminal Justice. My major? Criminal justice. However, I have always been a fan of film, especially genres like thriller or mystery. Thriller films, in particular, delve into the psyche of criminals. They give me a tantalizing glimpse into their motivations and methods. These narratives, while fictional, often mirror real-world criminal behavior. For instance, movies like “Se7en” or “Zodiac” not only entertain. They provoke deep discussions about criminal profiling and investigative techniques. The intersection of film and criminal justice enriches my understanding of the field.
