Investigative psychology aims to enhance understanding of criminal behavior and the investigative process. It emerged in response to early experiential approaches to offender profiling and a desire to formulate an empirical, evidence-based method of criminal investigation. This course aims to familiarize students with the key classical and contemporary studies and findings in investigative psychology and develop critical thinking of the validity of various investigative methods (e.g., offender profiling). Several important issues in investigative psychology, including suspect interview, police interrogation, lie detection, false confession, offender profiling, will be covered.
