Have you ever wondered why some people commit crime? Do you want to better understand criminology and provide expert insights in discussions about crime?
If that is the case, this course is for you. In this criminology course – the first of its kind on Udemy – I will give you a full introduction to the ins and outs of explaining crime.
You’ll Learn the full Spectrum of Criminology
Every day, we are confronted with real crime stories in the newspaper, on TV, and online. This course will go beyond the quick soundbites and headlines of news stories and help you understand the backgrounds of criminal behavior.
In this course, we’ll cover several core domains of criminology:
- The Psychology of Criminal Minds – How can the mind contribute to crime?
- The Body and Crime – How do biological factors (e.g., genes, the brain) come into play when it comes to criminal behavior?
- Decision-Making – How and why do people choose to commit crime?
- Sociology and Social Influence – How do the people and the places around us influence our criminal behavior?
Every topic is covered with comprehensive videos and slide presentations. You will also get examples of major studies, thought exercises, and case studies. At the end of each section, you can test your newly gained knowledge in a short quiz.
This course is based on a university curriculum. But instead of having to show up in a lecture room, reading a full textbook, and paying college tuition, you can enroll in this course in your own time and at your own convenience.
