Bachelor of Psychological Science and Bachelor of Justice Studies

This subject will provide an introduction to psychology and law. The progression of lecture topics in this subject will roughly follow the course of an investigation and trial of a criminal case, covering issues such as eyewitness memory; false memories; police interviewing techniques; deception detection; and juror decisions. Throughout the subject, the focus will be on how psychological science can (a) help us understand various aspects of the legal system, and (b) help to improve important processes in policing and courtroom trials.

Learn by following an investigation and trial of a criminal case. Consider eyewitness memory, false memories, police interviewing, deception and jurors’ decision-making. Use psychology to improve processes in policing and the courtroom.
