Forensic Psychology

This course will explore how psychology can be used to understand criminal behaviour. For instance can offender profiling be useful in identifying an offender? What causes a person to become a criminal – is it their biology or their environment? What is the best way to deal with offender behaviour, for instance do prisons work?
This course is suitable for anyone with an interest in psychology.
