CRIM3430 Forensic Psychology

Week 9 Reading

In this weeks reading we look at the 2008 John Horgan paper 'From Profiles to Pathways, and from Routes to Roots".

It is no exaggeration to say this paper is formative in the field - and actually plays a important role in my own journey to Professor at UML!

Enjoy!

This SUNDAYS WITH SHORTLAND is OFF THE CHARTS FUN.

Thank YOU for your engagement and your questions !!! This was emotionally exhausting. As I am sure you can tell! But I love hard questions.

Week 8 reading

This week we explore the concept of instrumental and expressive homicide and what this means for the psychology of the murderer.

Before we discussed this in the realm of "profiling", here we think about the implications of this for sentencing, rehabilitation and release!

Enjoy! 

Week 8 Lecture

In this weeks lecture we look at the role of Psychology in the court room - we jump right into the issue of culpability and how we, as forensic psychologists, deal with that question.

We go through some theory, a integrated theory, and then finish with a case study of four terrorist offenders who tried to blow up Mosques in New York.

What a ride.

Week 6 Lecture

This week we explore the psychology of lie detection.

 

Can we do it?

How do we do it?

And why is it the #1 most studied thing in forensic psychology?

I give you the chance to spot some lies, and we even have a go at micro-expression detection!

 

Get excited!

Week 6 Reading

In this weeks reading we look at the Levine et al., (2010) article where he tests what happens to your ability to detection lies after watching "lie to me"?

It speaks to a bigger point about can psychologists teach people tricks and tips and what happens when we do!

Another personal favorite - so enjoy!
