• PSY359 Understanding and Managing Criminal Behaviour

  For any reasonably complete understanding of criminal behaviour, different levels of explanation should be considered. For this reason, the module will first explore how broad psychologically driven theories aid our understanding of the nature of criminal behaviour. It will then explore whether criminal behaviour and mental disorder is synonymous, connected, or just coincidental phenomena. Specifically, the complex relationship between mental illness (e.g., schizophrenia, depression) and criminal behaviour, as well the potential role of psychopathic disorder in understanding antisocial and violent behaviour, will be examined The neuropsychology and neuroscience of criminal behaviour will be examined next, drawing on empirical research evidence to critically discuss whether there is a link between brain structure, function and criminal behaviour. Notable neuropsychological case studies will also feature to underpin discussions around how advances in neuropsychology and neuroscience may impact upon the legal system as well as our understanding of criminal behaviour itself. The module will conclude by focusing on the management of offenders, including how psychology has informed forensic risk assessment procedures as well as making a substantial contribution to offender rehabilitation.
