The fascinating Criminal Psychology course begins by examining the history of crime and punishment. The course briefly looks into various theories of offending and then goes on to examine the psychology of violent crime in close detail. The investigation into the psychology of violent acts of crime provides a useful introduction to forensic psychology and the psychology of criminal profiling, both of which are examples of other enthralling courses we offer.
In addition, the Criminal Psychology course considers the psychology behind terrorist crimes, domestic violence, drug abuse, youth crime and victimology, as well as covering the prevention of crime, safety within the community and aspects of the criminal justice system.
There are a number of activities to complete at the end of every module within the Criminal Psychology course. The aim of these activities is to get you to apply the knowledge you have gained, during each module, to appropriate questions and tasks in a way that you are comfortable with. There are also 2 essays at the end of each section but you are required to pick only 1 of these! Your 500 word essays will be submitted and assessed by your personal tutor to successfully complete the Criminal Psychology course and receive your Diploma.
For those of you who have been away from academia for some time, do not worry the Criminal Psychology course comes with a full 12 months tutor support to help you through your study.
Here are some handy tips on how you might want to structure your essays.
- You do not have to say anything new! Your essay should show the assessor that you have understood the information studied and that you can produce an evidence based argument
