Description

Class Experience

Why do some people commit crimes? Are there commonalities between people who commit different types of crimes? We will discuss the psychology behind criminal behavior in this class on forensic psychology. This class is ideal for students who are curious about the connection between psychology and the law.

Each week we will critically discuss a research article from the field of forensic psychology. Learners are welcome to join and leave at any time.

Here's the list of topics we will be...

I have a PhD in psychology from the University of Arizona. I've taught college classes for over ten years.

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

This class focuses on criminal behavior. I will focus on the psychology behind why people commit crimes, but I will not focus on specific details of the crimes. For example, I may define a crime (such as homicide is where someone is killed by another person), but I will not give graphic details of the crime. There are also crimes which I will not cover such as crimes against children or those of a sexual nature. 

My focus is on the psychological research on what makes a person commit a specific crime.

All of my source come from scientific research journals, specifically the Journal of Forensic Sciences (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/15564029).
