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 criminal case. During the first part of class, I will share information about the criminal case. During the second half of class, we will discuss the case with guided discussion questions. 

Learners are welcome to join and leave at any time. Here's the list of topics we will be covering (I will continually update our list of topics):
