  Criminologist
The number of adjectives that describe the world of the criminologist would fill more than a page, but one thing is certain: Few occupations require that people be as skilled on both a detail level and a large-picture level as that of criminologist.
Criminologists’ duties can be as distant from police work as reviewing a pattern of behavior among a certain demographic group and writing a profile of the pressures that increase that behavior.
One criminologist said the work can be “gruesome,” but the type of personality that likes the intellectual task of understanding patterns and deviations from patterns is well challenged in this profession; a number of respondents included the word “fascinating” in their description.

 Criminologist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A criminologist is defined as someone who studies aetiology of crime, criminal behavior, types of crime, and social reaction to crime.
The term criminologist generally refers to someone who does scholarly, scientific and professional study concerning the aetiology, prevention, control, and treatment of crime and delinquency, measurement of crime, law enforcement, judicial, and correctional systems.
It is a category that, despite its ambitious definition, can include almost anyone in actual application.

 Media Criminologist
While criminologists certainly must present intellectually oriented material, when they appear in the media their message will have to be articulated in such a way that it can be communicated to the greatest number of people.
Criminologists and other social scientists have found that it extremely difficult to communicate the complexities of social scientific research through a media format such as a TV talk show which is principally concerned with attempting to "entertain" an audience.
However, as long as criminologists remain outside of rather than part of the media they will always be subject to the biases of reporters, editors, news bureau chiefs, etc. With little or no control over how your statements are edited the risk of being misunderstood are indeed great.

 Amazon.com: Why They Kill: The Discoveries of a Maverick Criminologist (Vintage): Books: Richard Rhodes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Athens believes that violent crime results from "social retardation," a process whereby an individual who was abused in childhood guides his or her actions by recourse to a "phantom community" of the internalized voices of caregivers and others.
I've met more than a few criminologists at the University where I learned and taught psychology (and where, interestingly, Athens spent a good chunk of his early career), and I was always struck by how little psychology I found in the writings and the lectures of most criminologists.
Criminologists seem to be able to generate complex hypothesis at the drop of a hat, but precious few of them are willing to step back and say, as Athens did, that brutal criminals act that way because they've been taught to be brutal.
