Psychology ShortCuts: Offender Profiling

As with its sociological sister, ShortCuts to Psychology is a new series of free films designed to clearly and concisely illustrate key ideas and concepts across a range of topics – from family, through deviance to psychological theory and methods. The films are:

• short: between 30 seconds and a couple of minutes
• focused on definitions, explanations and analysis
• framed around expert sociologists in their field.

 

In this film Professor David Wilson offers up a definition of offender profiling.
