Main themes

This course introduces students to the new advances and openings that have come out of the most promising theoretical and clinical developments in analysing and conceptualising the psychological processes underlying the diversity of forms and types of deviance, marginalisation and crime and possible links between criminality and psychopathology. These intra-and interpersonal psychological processes need to be examined within the framework of their interrelations with biological, cultural and social issues. The course will both examine cultural and intercultural variation in the range of logics and styles of pathological crime and criminality and also the way in which these are affected by social and environmental change.
