Forensic psychology exists at the intersection between psychology and the justice system. It involves applying the principles and scientific methods of psychology to the study of both criminal behaviour and the basic tenets of the judicial system. Specific applications include the study of eyewitness memory, the intricacies of jury decision making, effective police interrogation techniques, and the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of criminal behaviour.
Students will study the core areas of psychology: social, cognitive, developmental and abnormal, as well as research methods and data analysis. Students will explore a variety of forensic psychology courses that apply psychology to crime, policing, the courts, corrections and other aspects of the justice system. Students will also have opportunities to incorporate aspects of criminology, legal studies, health and neuroscience into their degree, with the objective of developing unique knowledge and skill sets.
