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