Criminal Psychologists play a vital and exciting role in different legal proceedings and figuring out the intent and reactions of criminals. They play a key role in offender profiling and providing second opinions in case studies and witness interrogation.
To understand the origins of a criminal’s behaviour you will study different theories and approaches. By studying these areas you will develop a broad understanding of how crime is preconceived, used in law enforcement and in crime prevention. Once this is in place you can better understand the thoughts and behaviours of criminals and people who cross the boundary of what is considered acceptable in society.
