Criminology is an area of sociology that focuses on the study of crimes and their causes, effects, and social impact. A criminologist's job responsibilities involve analysing data to determine why the crime was committed and to find ways to predict, deter, and prevent further criminal behaviour. The Profiling has become a subject of significant interest since the rise in popularity of crime drama series and psychological thrillers.
This thought-provoking course will give you an overview of various approaches and processes involved in generating a profile and a greater understanding of crime and the theories behind investigation.
In this Criminology and Psychological Profiling training course, you will get an in-depth insight into types of crimes, forensic science, criminal psychology, criminal law, profilers and famous criminals. Our Criminology certificate course covers the many functions and roles involved in solving crimes.
