- causes and explanations of criminal behaviour
- methods of evidence collection
- human behaviours during criminal proceedings
- psychological aspects of the search for the truth in criminal law
- reliability of witness statements
- responsibility
- combating fraud and confiscating illegally obtained assets
- DNA search in criminal investigations and evidence collection
You will learn through lectures&tutorial groups. The lectures will provide you with insights into the content of the programme. The tutorial groups allow you to dig deeper into the matter at hand, using Problem-Based Learning (PBL).
