Introduction to Offender Profiling
This event aims to discuss some of the basic principles of crime such as why people commit the crime. The origins and development of offender profiling and investigative psychology will be discussed. Dr. Hughes will discuss some of the cases she has worked on and why it is important to focus on specific crime scene behaviours or characteristics of the offender. People who attend a course will probably not go on to become expert criminal profilers! (Some might….) We aim to help people understand what crime is and why some people behave the way they do.
