Summary
**Reasons to choose Kingston**
- Kingston’s location offers opportunities to see the criminal justice system in operation through the close network of courts, prisons and community- based crime-reduction programmes.
- In addition to learning about forensic psychology and the substantive elements of criminological theory, research and practice, the course examines an array of social harms and perspectives which have traditionally been neglected by criminologists and the legal system.
- The course offers opportunities to learn first-hand experiences of imprisonment, transitions into the community and the desistance process.
**About this course**
In the forensic component of the course you will study investigative and legal processes. For example, how psychological methods can improve interviewing techniques and police decision-making through different profiling methods which are also critically evaluated. You will also explore the practice and boundaries of Behavioural Investigative Advice in the UK. The criminology course examines the social, economic and political contexts that give rise to crime and victimisation. You will explore and challenge formal responses to offending behaviour, including policing, punishment and rehabilitation, and wider strategies of social control. You will study the criminalisation process and engage critically with ‘what works’ to reduce crime.

- Investigative and Legal Processes in Forensic Psychology
- Understanding Crime and Criminal Careers
