Purposes and Objectives:
Forensic Solutions is pleased to be offering CP203: Criminal Profiling & Psychopathy, II. This course is a continuation of CP202: Criminal Profiling & Psychopathy. Concepts from CP202 are built upon and explored in offense specific contexts through the lens of criminal profiling. Course material will focus on the illustration of psychopathic behavior through case example. Students will learn to better recognize that behavior from elements found in the crime scene.
The objective of CP203 is to give students an advanced awareness level of the core tenets of criminal profiling as they relate specifically to the subject of psychopathic behavior. CP203 will also serve the secondary objective of assisting students who wish to further learn and use criminal profiling techniques in their current or developing careers, by informing them to the point where they can make decisions on how to pursue more advanced levels of education to fulfill these goals. Professionals as well will become attenuated to the relevance and potential saliency of applying profiling techniques in their own particular fields.
