PSYC 3451

Are you a fan of true crime? Do you want to know the science behind the headlines? In this exciting course, students critically examine the roles that cognitive, social, and clinical psychology play in both criminal and civil matters. They read and discuss scholarly materials in areas such as jury decision making, eyewitness memory of children and adults, expert testimony, police investigations, and risk assessment. Students learn through lectures, case studies, and group discussions. This course is credit excluded with CRIM 2204. Students may enroll in and earn credit for only one of these courses. Note: This is a seminar course.
