The "Criminology Club" was established in February this year after the extremely successful course in "Profiling of Unknown Perpetrators of Crimes", taught by Prof. D.Sc. Yonko Kunchev - Dean of the Faculty of Law and Head of the Master's degree Programme "Forensic Expertise" at the University. More than 160 representatives of various areas of public life actively participated in the training - psychologists, lawyers, pedagogues, security experts, representatives of state and municipal structures, journalists and students from various specialties at VFU "Chernorizets Hrabar", as well as graduates from other universities. The participants agreed on the idea of being in contact with each other in various areas related to forensics. Trainings continue with Pravda Ilieva - a doctoral student in criminology at VFU "Chernorizets Hrabar" and a member of the Board of the Club. She presented to young profilers a profile of the first serial killer in Cyprus, and yesterday the significance of the tattoo for identifying perpetrators of crime was analyzed.
