PSY 6125 Behavioral Criminology

This course approaches the understanding of delinquent and criminal behavior from a developmental, cognitive-behavioral, and psychological perspective. Viewing the juvenile and adult offender as being embedded and continually influenced by multiple systems, the course examines the risk and protective factors that are believed to influence the developmental pathways on the road to delinquency and crime. The behavioral, emotional, and cognitive aspects of crime are examined, focusing primarily on the offender but occasionally on the victim as well. Fee: $75.00.
