The topics covered include the causes of different types of crimes, psychopathy, criminal investigation, investigative interview and questioning, information eliciting, applied memory, deception detection, criminal profiling and crime linkage, professional training, legal and investigative decision making, expert testimonies, offender management, treatment and assessment, crime victimization, legal and public responses to crime.
