In the Forensic Psychology Level 3 Diploma Course we
adopt a research perspective to forensic psychology, beginning with
a brief introduction to research methodologies followed by a very
basic introduction to statistics for research. The course then
examines the psychology of violent crime and gives the student the
opportunity to conduct their own research into the links between a
particular mental disorder of their choice, and violent crime.
On successful completion on this home study course
students will receive an accredited Level 3 Certificate Award
issued by NCFE. Following on from this the course makes a
brief examination of serial murder and the different causal factors
that have been put forward as contributing to the development of
the serial killer. The student is then invited to use their
learning to date, together with their own research, to explore
three serial killers and to produce a report of approximately five
hundred words which examines the personas of the chosen serial
killers in relationship to the popular urban myths identified by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and explain which they believe
hinders the investigation of serial murder. The course then
proceeds to examine the links between substance abuse serious
crime, violent crime, acquisitive crime and mental disorder and
governmental responses to substance abuse. The student is given a
further opportunity to conduct their own research to show how a
local intervention programme in their area is evidencing the
success or otherwise of The Government Drug Strategy.
Following from these modules students will look at some mental
disorders that have been put forward as defences in criminal
trials. These include; Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple
Personality Disorder), Dissociative Amnesia and Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder. They will also be given the opportunity to conduct
research into Dissociative Identity Disorder. The course continues
with a brief examination of eye witness testimony and the evidence
of children, after which students will again develop their
knowledge by conducting their own research. Technical Prerequisites
