Criminology observation

exercises

To be a good detective, it’s quite

important to have well-trained powers

of observation and to be skilled at

thinking about things and reasoning

deductively. Those are things you can

practice, and it’s most fun when at least

two people do it together. In any case,

you should get used to observing people

carefully. You can figure out a lot that

way: age, occupation, family status, hair

color, special characteristics ...

2. Now study the two small pictures

at the top. At first glance, they may

look the same, but the artist changed

a few details in the one on the right:

How quickly can you find the seven

differences?

3. This exercise requires a partner.

Leave your office for a few minutes.

Your partner will change something

or other while you are out of the

room. For example, he or she could

pull open a drawer, place a book

on the table, turn on a light, open

the window, or put a cookie on a

shelf. Time how long it takes you

to discover the change. Then have

him or her leave while you change

something.

4. This exercise only works with

a partner too: While you are out

of the office, have him or her hide

something that normally doesn’t

belong there: for example, a bag

of flour from the kitchen, a tube of

toothpaste, or a ball of yarn.

How long does it take you to find it?

Imagine that you are carrying

out your search as a detective in

someone else’s room. You have to

search cautiously, so the owner

doesn’t notice any signs of your

activity afterwards.

Look closely!

You will need:

Sheet of paper

Pencil

Everyday objects

Watch with second hand, or timer

Here’s how:

1. Carefully study the large picture on

the right for 30 seconds. Then close

the manual and write down from

memory, as accurately and precisely

as you can, what you saw. Then

answer these questions:

•

What kind of clothing are the people

wearing?

•

What are they doing?

•

At what time and on what day of the

week is the scene taking place?

•

How many people are in the picture?

•

How many of them are sitting?

•

Which of them are acting

suspiciously, and why?

•

Which of them is the oldest?

•

Did you notice anything else

unusual?
