About this course
The Criminal Psychology Diploma is an in depth look at the criminal mind and how it works. The course will also look at why criminals commit crime and the reasons behind criminal behaviour.
There are many different sectors that deal with the psychology behind criminals, their actions and behaviours independently. Not only that but they also incorporate law, punishment and rehabilitation of convicted criminals.
Criminal psychology, also referred to as criminological psychology, is the study of the wills, thoughts, intentions and reactions of criminals and all that contributes to criminal behaviour. Which is why this course will teach you to understand how phases of a criminal’s life can affect their behaviours. We will do this by, first, assessing the bio psychosocial and developmental reasoning behind crime and the category of the crime committed. This in turn can help us understand the use of psychology in crime investigation; cultivating in a final discussion on the important bearing of psychology in the justice system.
