The Psychology of Crime (Birmingham Campus)

An exciting opportunity to examine the psychology behind a criminal case. Students will have the opportunity to explore how a forensic psychologist uses theory and research to work with a wide range of people including victims of crime, witnesses and the police and how this can differ from a criminologist’s role. We will explore the facts of the case and theories behind why individuals commit crime. Explore a Forensic Psychologist’s role in the Criminal Justice System and how psychology impacts confessions, victims, and how the prison system is shaped.
