PSY 748 Empirical Crime Scene Analysis

This advanced-level course introduces students to empirical methods of crime scene analysis and profiling research, using the FBI crime files held at John Jay. Students will learn how to develop the theoretical knowledge of profiling, learned in PSY 746, into applied research. The course will take them through the process of completing a publication-level research project from start to finish. This is a time-intensive course, which will consist of some lectures, student-led group research and regular meetings to discuss progress.
