New Babbage - A Steampunk City in Second Life

Some photos taken on a recent trip to the New Babbage Sim. Brunel Hall Hotel, the largest Hotel of its kind in New Babbage. New Babbage is a sooty northern industrial City-Nation of the steampunk imagination, loosely based on the era of 1830 to 1890. Tourists are a common sight and are welcomed. The City has a rich history dating back to an earlier clockwork technological period, hinted at but largely unexplored.

What will you uncover?

The City is home to an active roleplay community. RP is 100% optional here, but be aware that your roleplay actions may not be entirely ignorable by the people who have made this city their home. The stories that are told in our streets have an inevitable impact on the character of the city, which is first and foremost a steampunk city. Characters based in magic and fantasy are strongly advised to consult with the mayor before settling in.

Criminal Psychology

Criminal psychology is the study of the wills, thoughts, intentions and reactions of criminals. It is related to the field of criminal anthropology. The study goes deeply into what makes someone commit crime, but also the reactions after the crime, on the run or in court. Criminal psychologists are often called up as witnesses in court cases to help the jury understand the mind of the criminal. Some types of Psychiatry also deal with aspects of criminal behavior. Criminal psychology, also classified as forensic psychology, requires 5 to 7 years of study and a doctorate in clinical, counseling or criminal psychology. As a criminal psychologist, you will examine and extract information from a crime scene in order to piece together information about the crime, the attacker and the motivation for the crime.
