The module will provide an overview of social and investigative psychology. In particular, students will learn how psychological theory can explain and predict a range of social and criminal behaviours. Topics covered will include social influence, prosocial behaviour, criminality, and delinquency among other topics. At the end of the module, students will have an understanding of the impact of social influences on individual and group behaviour. In addition, students will have an understanding of a range of psychological approaches to criminality, approaches to offender profiling, and an awareness of official crime statistics. The module will be taught via 11 weeks of 4 hour classes, composed of 2 x 2 hour lessons. These are small group teaching sessions containing fewer than 20 students per class. Learning will be assessed via a coursework essay and end of semester essay examination. Material will be available to students via the VLE (e.g., lecture slides, online activities, group discussion forum, formative and summative feedback).
