Criminology and Forensic Psychology Diploma Bundle

This Level 3 Criminology Diploma is an extremely insightful home study course that has been created due to the popular demand of our Level 3 Certificate. Criminology is a broad subject area that draws on the study of crime, violence, victims, terrorism, criminal statistics and the criminal justice system. The Criminology Diploma is a multi-disciplinary course that encompasses law, psychology and sociology in order to gain greater knowledge of this discipline and make informed conclusions.

Course topics covered within the Criminology Diploma include Children and Criminology, Young Offenders and the Criminal Justice System, the Anglo American Model and Labelling Theory and Critical Criminology. The Criminology Diploma is designed for study by distance learning at work or at home in your own time and at your own pace.

In this Forensic Psychology Diploma course we will adopt a research perspective to forensic psychology, beginning with a brief introduction to research methodologies followed by a very basic introduction to statistics for research.  The Forensic Psychology course then examines the psychology of violent crime and gives the student the opportunity to conduct their own research into the links between a particular mental disorder of their choice, and violent crime.

Following from these modules students will look at some mental disorders that have been put forward as defences in criminal trials. They will also be given the opportunity to conduct research into Dissociative Identity Disorder. The Forensic Psychology Diploma course continues with a brief examination of eye witness testimony and the evidence of children, after which students will again develop their knowledge by conducting their own research.
