Psychology (Forensic and Criminal)

About this course

Forensic and criminal psychology applies psychological theory and research to questions about crime, criminal behaviour, victimisation, offender rehabilitation and the functioning of the justice system. It draws on social, developmental and clinical psychology alongside criminological thinking to understand why individuals commit crimes, how witnesses and victims are affected, how offenders can change and how psychological knowledge can improve investigative, legal and rehabilitative practice. It is a field that attracts significant public interest, though the academic discipline is considerably more nuanced and evidence-based than popular representations often suggest. At Roehampton University this three-year programme combines psychological theories of crime and victimisation with a strong emphasis on professional development and applied practice.
