Overall Educational Objective To gain an overview of forensic psychology and to become competent in analyzing potential psychological factors underlying criminal behavior.
Course Description This course is designed to introduce psychological research on criminal behavior to undergraduate students who do not have a background in forensic psychology. In that respect, majority of the topics will deal with the fundamental issues in forensic psychology such as theories of crime (psychosocial, psychobiological, etc.), offender profiling, assessment and treatment. Moreover, we will be also focusing on major issues like the mentally disordered offenders, eyewitness testimony (e.g., children and elderly), and victims of crime.
Course Description in Turkish Bu ders adli psikoloji temeli olmayan lisans öğrencilerine suç davranışı üzerine yapılan psikoloji araştırmalarını tanıtmak amacıyla tasarlanmıştır. Bu nedenle, ders konularının çoğu suç teorileri (psikososyal, psikobiyolojik, vb.), suçlu profile çıkarma, değerlendirme ve iyileştirme gibi adli psikolojinin temel konularını içermektedir. Ayrıca, akıl sağlığı yerinde olmayan suçlular, görgü tanıklığı (örn., çocuklar ve yaşlılar) ve suç kurbanları gibi önemli konulara da odaklanılacaktır.
