The Criminal Profiling and Psychology course offers a profound exploration into the minds of those who commit crimes, delving into the psychological mechanisms that drive criminal behaviour. This course is not only an academic study but also a practical tool for understanding the complex interplay between psychology and criminality. By examining how these tools are employed by law enforcement agencies, the course provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of a criminal profiler and the crucial part they play in solving crimes.

Criminal profiling, also known as offender profiling, is a vital investigative tool used to identify potential suspects by analysing patterns within specific crimes. This method involves a deep dive into the psychological profiles of criminals, drawing on insights from psychology to determine why, how, and by whom a crime might have been committed. Profiling can be both descriptive, offering a portrait of a likely offender, and predictive, suggesting future behaviours or potential escalations. This dual approach makes criminal profiling an indispensable asset in the field of criminal justice.

In recent years, the popularity of forensic science, criminology, and criminal profiling courses has soared, partly driven by the fascination with true crime dramas and documentaries. However, beyond the intrigue lies a serious and essential discipline. Understanding why individuals commit crimes in the specific ways they do is not only fascinating but also critical for preventing future offences. This course taps into that curiosity while providing learners with the analytical tools necessary to contribute to crime-solving efforts.

Throughout the course, learners will analyse infamous cases such as the Yorkshire Ripper, the Mad Bomber of New York, and the Dunblane Massacre. These case studies offer a unique opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios, enhancing the practical relevance of the course. By attempting to understand the motivations behind these horrific acts, students will not only gain insight into past crimes but also contribute to the development of future crime detection methods. The study of criminal profiling is not just about solving crimes—it’s about preventing them, making this course an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of psychology and law enforcement.

Career Profile - Forensic psychologist


Career Profile


Forensic psychology can be challenging but if you’re resilient and willing to help and understand offenders, it could be your ideal career

Your work as a forensic psychologist will mainly relate to the assessment and treatment of criminal behaviour. You’ll work not only with prisoners and offenders, but with other professionals involved in the judicial and penal systems as well as with victims of crime.

While you will be involved in criminal profiling, your role will stretch far beyond this. You’ll be heavily involved in providing research-based evidence to develop policy and working practices, as well as give evidence in court and advise parole boards and mental health tribunals. Your work will help to rehabilitate prisoners and you’ll have the chance to support and train other staff.

Responsibilities
As a forensic psychologist, you’ll need to:

* carry out one-to-one assessments, often to assess the risk of re-offending (e.g. for lifers being released into the community or sex offenders after a treatment programme), suicide, self-harm or other high-risk behaviour
* develop, implement and review appropriate offender treatment and rehabilitation programmes, including anger management, treatment for drug and alcohol addiction and social and cognitive skills training
* undertake research projects to evaluate situations affecting prisoners, e.g. investigating the impact of bullying in prisons or effectiveness of an anger management programme
* undertake statistical analysis for forensic offender profiling
* deliver training to support forensic staff in areas such as stress management, or training on how to cope with understanding bullying and techniques for crisis (hostage) negotiation
* provide expert witness testimony at court, for parole boards and mental health tribunals
* contribute to policy and strategy development to ensure continuous service improvement.

You may also need to:

* work with victims of crime and the general public in relation to their fear around crime
* conduct applied research
* design and deliver training
* provide organisational consultancy.

Salary

* Trainee forensic psychologists working for HM Prison Service (HMPS) can be paid a starting salary of between £27,021 and £34,461.
* Fully-qualified, registered psychologists within HMPS earn between £38,148 and £43,870 (band 7), while senior registered psychologists can earn £42,626 and £51,154 (band 8). Salaries in London will be higher.
* Salaries for forensic psychologists within the NHS are at a similar level. Those in training are on Band 6 of the Agenda for Change (AfC) pay scale and earn £32,306 to £39,027, while fully-qualified psychologists (Band 7) earn between £40,057 and £45,839.

Salaries in other areas of work may vary. Additional benefits may include a competitive pension, childcare vouchers, cycle to work scheme and travel loans.

Income data from HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and Health Careers. Figures are intended as a guide only.

Working Hours

As a forensic psychologist you’ll usually work a 37-hour week from Monday to Friday, although there may be some flexibility required.

Job-share and part-time working options are possible and you may be able to take a career break depending on the employer. With experience, and if you’d like to focus on the consultancy side of the role, it might be possible to become self-employed or carry out freelance work.

What to expect

* This can be a challenging job as you’ll be working in situations with prisoners or ex-offenders who may not want to be helped. There may be some personal risk and you’ll need to be resilient.
* Working environments vary. In prisons, for example, you’ll need to acclimatise to noise and lock-up procedures. Category A institutions impose camera observation and entry searches, as can other forensic settings.
* You may work in one location or across a number of sites, including prisons, secure hospitals, rehabilitation units and police stations. You may also have to travel to court to provide expert witness testimony.
* Jobs are available across the UK. Some locations are difficult to access without your own transport.
* You need to be prepared to work with a range of offenders including young people, violent or sexual offenders, and offenders with severe personality disorders. You’ll also work closely with other staff groups, including prison officers, psychiatrists and senior managers.

Skills

You’ll need to have:

* communication and listening skills in order to establish a relationship with the offender community and build trust
* a systematic approach to work
* teamworking and leadership skills
* motivation and commitment
* problem-solving ability and decision-making skills
* planning and research skills
* the ability to analyse and present statistical information
* self-awareness and a high level of security awareness
* a non-discriminatory, non-judgemental approach
* resilience and the capacity to cope with an element of personal risk.

Career prospects

Progression within HM Prison Service is based on ability and experience. More opportunities may be available if you’re willing to relocate. As a qualified psychologist you’ll be able to progress into a number of roles, including developing policy, management or delivery of services.

With experience you may be appointed to a senior psychologist post, for example, in the management of a sex offender treatment programme, or to a principal/lead level, with overall responsibility for the management and delivery of offending behaviour programmes. Regional leads will oversee teams and will collaborate with prison directors and other senior stakeholders.

There are also opportunities to move sideways to other employers, for example, from the prison service to the NHS. There are a range of job opportunities in the NHS, including treatment leads for therapy initiatives and supporting the forensic wards. You can also progress to very senior management levels, such as head of services.

Freelance work and self-employment is sometimes possible. For example, you could move into consultancy in a forensic context.

Grading & How it Works

The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.

This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.

Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.

We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
