Program Overview
Course overview
The science of psychology studies human behaviour and the law regulates it, but there is little collaboration between the two. Learn how psychological findings can help prevent injustices throughout the justice process - from stops and searches to court proceedings.
Excellent!
Most useful: - Effect of biases on decision-making. - Memory.
Very good value.
Joanne Brown, Barrister, 4 Paper Buildings
Findings from psychological research have clarified many grey areas about human behaviour that are relevant to justice. For example, research has informed us about the unreliability of memory, eyewitness testimony, and cues to detecting deception, as well as factors that taint the evidence of witnesses and enforcement officers.
These findings have also been used to develop an evidence base for understanding, predicting and controlling factors that may detrimentally impact on the effectiveness of the justice process. Join us for an interactive intensive one-day course covering findings in these areas and much more.
The groups are kept small to enable an interactive atmosphere and enjoyable experience.
Who should take this course?
This course is for you if you wish to learn about how psychology can help justice, including steps for implementation. This knowledge would benefit all people, and particularly key justice stakeholders, such as the police force, lawyers and judges.
