betim alev pekşen

Born and raised in Russia, Betim Alev Pekşen completed her undergraduate studies in Crime and Investigative Studies at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, United Kingdom, and earned her Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Roehampton. After completing her studies, she relocated to Turkey, where she continues her professional work. As a sworn translator in Russian, English, and Turkish, she approaches human behavior with a broad and multicultural perspective shaped by her international background. Drawing upon this cross-cultural understanding, Pekşen examines crime as a multifaceted phenomenon encompassing psychological, social, and ethical dimensions. Through her articles for Psychology Times Türkiye, she aims to contribute to public protection, crime prevention, and the promotion of fair justice by exploring the cognitive and emotional mechanisms behind criminal behavior. Guided by the belief that understanding crime is the first step toward protecting society, Pekşen combines academic insight with a strong sense of social responsibility in her work.
