Subject Area: Criminology
Module: "Violent & Sexual Offenders" (Semester 2, 2011)
This course will take an authoritative overview and analysis of issues of assessment, treatment and management of dangerous offenders. It will take particular account of policy and legislative issues and developments at an international level and address wider issues of risk and dangerous offenders in the context of the risk society. The course will also question the relationship between the assessment, treatment and management of such offenders, and consider who it is appropriate to involve in this process. The course will take a multi-disciplinary approach to the assessment, treatment and management of violent and sexual offenders, and extend its coverage to include the issue of stalking. Issues around diversity will be considered throughout.
Module: "Understanding violence, aggression and conflict"
Explores the psychology of violence, aggression and conflict across criminal and non criminal arenas. Relevant theories focusing on the individual will be canvassed such as psychopathy and sociopathy however the focus will be on how concepts concerned with the power of groups, situations, learning, obedience, authority, and the sociology of emotion (particularly fear and hatred) might be brought to bear on contemporary topics of criminological concern from violent crime and hate crime to terrorism, state sanctioned killing such as the death penalty and at the global level, warfare.
