About this programme

This program will enhance the knowledge and skill set of individuals who work or volunteer in corrections, law enforcement, security, women’s shelters, human services, youth at risk, or individuals who have a special interest in criminal psychology and behaviour. The program explores why individuals become criminals as well as why individuals are attracted to those with deviant behaviours. The program also explores factors that research suggests underlie criminal behaviours.
