Psychology is the science of human behaviour and mind. It is concerned with individual psychological processes and the social context of how we think and interact with the world around us. Forensic psychology applies these processes and knowledge to legal domains, helping shape how the police, courts, prisons, and probation services understand and react to victims, witnesses, and offenders. Forensic psychology practitioners work in wide variety of settings and with groups such as police, legal professionals, victim services, prisons, rehabilitation centres, and mental health. They might carry out risk assessments on offenders and develop treatment plans to aid with rehabilitation, work with children with anti-social behaviour, or explore the impact of crimes such as sexual violence on victims. Our course covers all core elements of psychological study as required by the British Psychological Society (BPS), from lifespan development, biopsychology, and research methods, to social, critical and individual differences. As well as developing a thorough understanding of key psychological research, theory and principles, you’ll also explore a wide range of topics focusing on theories of crime, victimisation, and psychology in legal contexts including offender behaviour, eyewitness testimony, jury decision-making, police investigations, and the assessment and treatment of offenders.
