CRM 5002G - Forensic Behavioral Analysis

Credits: 4

fingerprints, handwriting analysis, criminal profiling, hypnosis, and other forms of what has been labeled “junk science” will be evaluated and the myths surrounding the use of scientifically unproven means of behavior analysis and prediction will be unmasked and explored. Ultimately, students will be brought to a most careful and systematic means for uncovering criminogenic behavior and understanding deviance, as well as the underlying causes that help explain why certain individuals engage in pathological, violent, and criminally aggressive behavior.
