Explore what’s behind the experiences of both offenders and victims of crime on this part-time Master’s degree in Criminal Psychology and Victimology, studying at your own pace via distance learning.
You’ll learn how taking a psychological approach, such as through offender profiling, can be the key to a criminal investigation. You’ll look at different types of offending behaviour with a view to understanding those behind it and working with them to reduce rates of reoffending.
You’ll also gain an insight into the challenges faced by victims of crime, and study the theoretical perspectives that inform our understanding of victimisation. You’ll explore the wider historical and political contexts that influence victim-centred policy and legislation, gaining the skills you need to advocate for victims of crime anywhere within the criminal justice system.
