Psychology With Forensic Perspectives

About this course

Forensic psychology applies psychological science to questions that arise in legal and criminal justice contexts. It examines why people commit offences, how the justice system processes and responds to criminal behaviour, how psychological evidence is gathered and evaluated in legal proceedings, and what effective rehabilitation looks like. The field sits at the intersection of clinical psychology, criminology, and law, drawing on research into cognition, emotion, personality, and social influence to understand behaviour in some of the most demanding human situations. At Edge Hill University, this three-year full-time programme grounds you in core psychological science while developing a focused understanding of forensic and legal contexts. You will study the psychological factors that influence criminal behaviour, the assessment and treatment of offenders, the psychology of witnesses
