This course provides an in-depth understanding of how psychological issues impact crime and crime prevention. It will examine a range of different crime types and apply psychological and behavioural economic approaches to understanding the motivations of offenders and criminal organisations. Both psychological theories and practical applications will be explored throughout the course, complete with contemporary case studies, examples and analyses of existing policy approaches. Students will be equipped with practical skills to enhance their crime prevention and detection capabilities by applying various psychological theories and practices. This course is also one of the first at CityU to utilise the team-based learning approach, where students will work in groups to devise practical solutions to contemporary crime problems during in-class sessions.
