The Criminal Psychology and Profiling course unpacks the psychological mechanisms behind criminal behaviour and the art of profiling offenders. This course explores how profiling is used to assess motives, behaviours, patterns, and personality traits. It lays out the structured logic behind behavioural analysis and explains how criminal profiling can provide vital clues in investigations. You’ll explore how profilers interpret actions, analyse crime scenes, and make deductions—not by guesswork, but through psychological insight and method.

Covering offender types, profiling approaches, forensic psychology, and behavioural patterns, the content walks you through the building blocks of effective profiling. Profiling isn't about predicting the future—it’s about making sense of past actions and narrowing the possibilities. Whether you’re intrigued by crime psychology or want to understand how profiling supports investigations, this course offers a focused and informative approach that bridges theory and criminal thought patterns.
