Course overview

Turn a fascination into a field of enquiry

Criminal psychology studies the motivations of those who operate outside the boundaries of what is considered socially acceptable. Our criminal psychology courses examine labelling theory, how crime is conceptualised and the origins of criminal behaviour. Learn about profiling and interactionist viewpoints, and look at a case study. You’ll explore IQ tests, understand who is predisposed to unusual behaviour – and see what social situations might produce a life of crime. Enrol with The Career Academy today and discover true crime’s origins – you can study criminal psychology NZ-wide with our 100% online offer.
