Course Description
Diploma in Criminology & Criminal Psychology – September 2021
City Colleges
Delivered by John O’Keeffe, the purpose of the Diploma in Criminology & Criminal Psychology is to equip learners with a basic understanding of various fields of Criminology (the scientific study of crime) and Forensic Psychology from a historical, contemporary and progressive perspective. In addition, fundamental psychological concepts will be considered, including personality disorders, mental disorder and crime, alongside social & environmental theories of crime and familial correlates of crime – to name but four. At the end of the course, learners will have a detailed understanding of the psychology and nature of criminal conduct.
From the outset, students will gain knowledge regarding matters such as the measurement and distribution of crime in society and official responses with regard to crime prevention and investigation. During the course, students will be exposed to the psychology of criminal conduct and be able to appreciate a range of perspectives from relevant literature that seeks to shed light on crime and its commission, from psychopathy and sexual offending to serial killing. By its conclusion, attendees will have a significant understanding of crime categories, offending behaviours, and how a criminological and psychological understanding impacts on prevention, rehabilitation, and treatment.
This course is offered from our Dublin City Centre location (South Great George’s Street, Dublin 2) and online.
This event has been approved for CPD credits for members of the Psychology Society of Ireland.
The course runs three times per year, in January, April and September.
