Forensic Psychology - CPD Accredited

Forensic psychology is a specialised branch of psychology that bridges the gap between psychological principles and the criminal justice system. It plays a significant role in understanding criminal behaviour, preventing crime, and supporting rehabilitation efforts. As crime rates evolve and the justice system faces new challenges, the need for professionals who can analyse criminal patterns, assess offenders, and provide expert advice is more critical than ever.

Why Should People in the UK Learn About Forensic Psychology?

• The reoffending rate in England and Wales remains high, with 25% of adult offenders reoffending within a year of release (Ministry of Justice).
• Forensic psychology contributes to reducing crime and improving public safety, supporting initiatives such as offender rehabilitation.
• Employment opportunities in the criminal justice sector are growing, with a 6% increase in forensic-related roles projected over the next five years.

This course covers a wide range of topics, from understanding offending theories and violent behaviours to evaluating testimony reliability and offender profiling techniques. It equips learners with the ability to examine behaviours scientifically, make informed assessments, and recommend interventions that improve the justice system's outcomes. By addressing subjects like re-offending risk, fire-setting behaviours, and sexual and violent offending, the course prepares students to work with offenders, victims, and legal professionals alike.

Furthermore, it explores research methods and psychological theories, which are essential for developing evidence-based practices in forensic settings. With a growing focus on crime prevention and rehabilitation across the UK, professionals trained in forensic psychology are highly valued for their ability to deliver practical solutions to societal issues.
