Overview
Forensic Science and Criminology are essential disciplines that provide a deep understanding of criminal behaviour and the justice system.
This course offers comprehensive insights into the psychological factors influencing offending and the methods used to investigate and manage crime. By exploring various theories of offending, including sexual, violent, and fire-setting behaviours, learners will gain a thorough understanding of what drives individuals to commit crimes.
The curriculum also explores the personal characteristics of offenders, such as personality disorders and psychopathy, and how mental illness can influence criminal behaviour.
In addition to offender profiling, the course examines the effectiveness of such profiles and the critical role of eye-witness and expert witness testimonies in the justice system. This knowledge is crucial for reducing the risk of re-offending and improving criminal investigations and incident management strategies.
Criminology complements the forensic science component by focusing on the broader context of criminal psychology and the criminal justice system. Learners will learn about the classification of crimes, from violent crimes to the specifics of crime scene analysis. Victimology and the influence of mental disorders on criminal behaviour are also covered, providing a holistic view of the factors at play in criminal activities. Understanding the criminal justice system in England and Wales is pivotal, as it offers insights into how crime is dealt with legally and the various approaches to reducing re-offending.
By the end of this course, learners will have a well-rounded knowledge base to pursue careers in forensic psychology, criminal justice, and related fields.
