Criminology and Forensic Psychology

About this course

Criminology and forensic psychology is a combination that examines crime from two closely related but distinct angles. Criminology is a social science that asks why crime happens, how it is distributed across society, how the criminal justice system responds to it, and whether those responses are effective or just. Forensic psychology applies psychological knowledge and methods to the legal and criminal justice system, examining how criminal behaviour is assessed and understood, how offenders are profiled and evaluated, and how psychological evidence is used in court proceedings and in the design of rehabilitation programmes. At the University of Chichester this three-year BSc programme goes beyond explaining why people commit crimes to examine how criminal behaviour generates evidence, informs court proceedings, and shapes approaches to offender rehabilitation.
