課程概述

In the past few decades, the number of child victims and witnesses of crime has increased at an alarming rate. With the increasing involvement of children and adolescents in the criminal justice system, the field of forensic developmental psychology has developed significantly in research and policy-making. This course will educate students on the relationship between forensic psychology and developmental psychology, focusing on children’s actions and reactions in forensic contexts. Students will learn and apply knowledge in cognitive, socio-emotional, and moral development to children’s roles as witnesses and perpetrators.

課程目標

Students should be able to:
• Define the field of forensic developmental psychology.
• Define children’s roles in the forensic context as witnesses, victims, and perpetrators.
• Define children’s involvement in abuse and neglect, family violence, and bullying as sources of evidence.
• Identify, describe, and explain children’s competence as witnesses and the forensic interviewing of children.
• Relate theories and research in cognitive, socio-emotional, and moral development to children’s involvement in the criminal justice system.
• Explain the research methods used in forensic developmental psychology and the special methodological challenges of research in this area.
• Design a research project to address a pertinent issue in forensic developmental psychology.
• Describe children’s role as perpetrators of crime and the factors related to their involvement in crime, such as bullying amounting to criminal assault.
• Demonstrate ability to analyze and critique theories and research in psychology.
• Practice dialogue facilitation, brainstorming, and group process skills.
