Past victimization, previous offending, psychopathology, aggression, being male: which of these variables might be the best predictor of future violent (re)offending?
And which variables might increase the chance of (re)victimization? How can interventions help to prevent crime? How can victims of violence and crime overcome their victimization?
If you are intrigued by questions about the psychology of violence and crime, and you are not satisfied with easy answers, consider entering the master's degree programme Clinical Forensic Psychology and Victimology.
In this programme:
We aim to understand acts of violence and crime from both the victims' and the offenders' perspectives
We take an integrative approach to the victim and offender dichotomy in crime
You will gain a theoretical insight into the correlates of violence and crime and their consequences
You will acquire practical skills to enable you to assess and intervene in both offender and victim contexts.
