Would you like to learn about Criminal Psychology? Are you interested in individual behaviour and personalities? Then, you are in the right place!

In this course, we will be looking at some theories that explain the links between criminal offence and various personality disorders. For example, we will be learning about Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and other types of disorders that might be linked to crimes. We will also explore the topic of ‘Is anyone capable of murder?’. Other topics that you will find interesting would be for example, ‘How do personality traits affect anger and violence in some people?’, ‘Can we predict criminal behaviour in some people?’, ‘What makes the person engage in sex-related offence?’, and much more!

Additionally, we will explore the topics that are related to mental health and juridical system, and personality theories such as Eysenck’s Personality Theory that gives many explanations on why some people are more predisposed to committing crime including anger and violence, burglary, murder, sexual offending behavior, and other types of crime.
