Frequently Asked Questions
Criminal psychology explores how thoughts, behaviours, and mental processes influence criminal actions. Understanding these factors helps investigators identify motives, predict behaviour patterns, and support effective crime prevention and rehabilitation strategies.
Mental disorders can affect impulse control, judgment, emotion regulation, and perception. While not all affected individuals commit crimes, understanding these influences helps professionals evaluate risk, provide proper treatment, and improve investigative accuracy.
Offender profiling uses behavioural patterns, forensic evidence, and psychological principles to predict a criminal’s characteristics. It helps narrow suspects, understand motives, and guide investigative strategies in complex or serial crime cases.
Forensic science provides physical evidence—such as DNA, fingerprints, and trace materials—that helps reconstruct events. Combined with psychological insights, it supports accurate profiling, strengthens investigations, and improves the reliability of legal outcomes.
Victimology studies victims’ behaviours, lifestyles, and relationships. It helps determine why a person was targeted, understand offender motivations, identify risk patterns, and refine profiling by linking victim characteristics to offender behaviour.
