Introduction to the Psychology of Crime
Have you ever wondered what some of the psychological causes of crime are? Do you want to understand better why some people commit crime whereas others don’t?
This free course serves as a brief introduction to the psychology of crime. More specifically, we’ll look into the question of which psychological factors can explain why some people commit crime. We’ll look at several main areas:
-         Personality – How does personality play a role in criminal behavior?
-         Mental Disorders – How can mental disorders contribute to crime?
-         Psychopathy – What is psychopathy and how is it related to crime?
-         Developmental Psychology – How do aggression and youth violence develop across the life course?
-         Thoughts and Feelings about Aggression and Crime – What is the role of thinking and moral emotions in aggression and crime?
Each of these aspects will be covered using comprehensive videos and slide presentations. To make things as engaging as possible, I will also provide examples of major studies, experiments, and a case study. In addition, you can test your newly gained knowledge with quiz questions at the end of each module.
This course is taught by a trained criminologist with over a decade of experience and is based on a university curriculum. But instead of having to show up in a lecture room, reading a full textbook, and paying college tuition, you can enroll in this course in your own time and at your own convenience.
I’m looking forward to seeing you inside!

🤗This intro course was very informative and really interesting. I enjoyed the fast paced to the point lessons. Thank you 🌺🦋
This was a cool and interesting short course, there are a few concepts that I do wish were delved into more and somethings that I felt were explained in a strange way initially but otherwise it was great fun and a great way to obtain knowledge in bite sized chunks and dipping my toes into criminology, thanks for sharing!
This course is a good match for me however, the link for the personality test did not work for me when I clicked on the link.
GOOD EXPLANATION
