You’ll look at media representations of crime, and explore social and developmental psychology.But we don’t just learn in the classroom. There are field trips to places such as the Old Bailey and Auschwitz. You’ll sit in on live trials in Cambridge Crown Court too, and observe the dynamics of the court room.In the final year of your course, there’s the chance to learn about offending and offender rehabilitation from trainee forensic psychologists.
