Have you ever fancied a career as a Criminal Psychologist? Do you watch CSI and Silent Witness on television and think you would find the job interesting, or even exciting? Would you like to learn how the Police profile offenders? Perhaps you’d like to know and understand why some people do things in an entirely different way to you and I.

Our personalities and characters underpin all our behaviours and influence our relationships with ourselves and others, and of course in the context of wider society. If you want to understand what makes criminals “tick” then this is the course for you.

Our outstanding Criminal Psychology Course has been specially written to enable anyone interested in learning about the use of psychological principles to understand the behaviour of criminals, and the value of psychology in detecting crime.

It’s an excellent course for those expanding their knowledge of psychology or crime detection, and in our opinion should be “required reading” for anybody embarking on a career in law enforcement, crime prevention, or working with offenders. The course will also be of interest to anybody who just want to get a feel for some of the science behind those popular TV series!

This enlightening study of human behaviour is the perfect introduction to criminal psychology. The reasons criminals behave in certain ways, the way they think about and justify those behaviours, and understanding those factors are revealed in simple terms for the student to get to grips with easily.

Course Structure

The course is designed to be studied from home by distance learning, at your own pace and in your own time. You are introduced to the different forms of emotional expression, and the nature of sensation and perception. If you have an interest in memory, and the way your brain works, you will be completely absorbed by the course content.

The individual units help you discover just how far our psychology and our emotional make-up influence our everyday lives. From the way we deal with stress and anxiety, to the impact the relationship with our parents has. From our early sexual development and our approach to prejudice and discrimination, to society’s influence on us and the way we conform (or otherwise). It’s all here, in sufficient detail to give you a real grounding in Psychology.

The best news is that this fascinating course requires no previous experience and has no entry requirements. You just need a passion for the subject!
