RegisterCourse Overview
In this Crime and Critical Psychology short course we critically explore the relationship between psychology and criminology through a wide range of topics and real-world problems. We offer a theoretical overview of the field, in particular psychosocial explanations of why people commit crime. We take groups such as youth gangs, serial killers and the 'mentally unwell offender' to examine the psychosocial contexts of these phenomena and ask questions such as:
- Why do young people join gangs?
- Do structural inequalities enable serial killers?
- How are mental health problems criminalised through psychology?
We also study the three arms of the criminal justice system, exploring:
- whether there is such a thing as a 'police personality'
- issues with eyewitness testimonies and juries in the courtroom
- the psychological harms of prison, and alternatives from a psych-abolition perspective.
Assessment is via an 800-word and 1000-word learning log (25% and 35%) and one-hour 30-minute end-of-module test/quiz (40%).
