Ever wonder what is behind the mind of a criminal? Dive deeply into the pathology of a serial killer, the motive of a stalker, or the face of a domestic terrorist.
In this class students will not only learn about the different mental illness often found in criminals but what to look for in a crime scene to help catch the perp.
This course is the perfect blend of psychology and forensics. Why do criminals do what they do and how does it help us find them and prosecute? What does it mean when a criminal knows his victim or not and how does that portray itself in a crime scene?
Exciting career opportunities await students entering this special blend of forensic psychology!
*Please be warned that this program contains content on violent crime that some students may find disturbing.*
