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, we will discuss factual details about the cases, but I will not show graphic details of the crime.

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