Description
Did you know you are more likely to fall victim to a serial killer than you are to win the lottery? (Hicky 1991)
Do you have a burning interest in Psychopaths, serial killers, stalkers, rapists, paedophiles, or offender profiling? If so the fascinating world of criminal and forensic psychology is for you.
The introduction to criminal and forensic psychology is suitable for anyone with a desire to learn about the workings of the criminal mind, what motivates an individual to commit crimes, and how investigators collect psychological clues.
This introductory book will provide you with a comprehensive insight into criminal behaviour and the criminal mind. You will develop your understanding of the major theories that seek to explain criminal behaviour especially in relation to violent and sexual crimes.
Crime and Criminal behaviour is something that affects everyone. The question over the Centuries has been, why do some people commit crime? What are the effects of that crime on the community as a whole?
Those involved in criminal psychology ask these questions concerning behaviours as part of their career and research paths, this question is often asked by the Gardai, Prison services, Offender institutes and the Judiciary in the course of their jobs. This course examines the way in which psychology helps us to understand how criminals behave and help us to apply that to the Criminal Justice System (CJS).
Readers will consider what criminal psychology is, how it is used in the study of crime and criminals. They will examine different types of psychological theories, and explain criminal behaviour in the context of them "offenders" and us "general public" Readers will investigate these perceptions and how the world sees themselves alongside their perceptions of criminals.
Readers will examine the research methods actively used by professionals, including the ethical issues which are raised when research is undertaken, Readers will have the opportunity to apply these research methods to their own research project at the end of the course. As the course progresses Readers will learn how to design and implement a psychological study and apply appropriate statistical and empirical analysis skills to information gathered in their own investigations. Readers will learn about serial killers, Ireland's Serial Killers, Offender profiling, Geographical profiling and addiction to crime.
