Criminal psychology, also referred to as criminological psychology,[1] is the study of the wills, thoughts, intentions, and reactions of criminals and all that partakes in the criminal behavior.[2][3]
It is related to the field of criminal anthropology. The study goes deeply into what makes someone commit a crime, but also the reactions after the crime, on the run or in court. Criminal psychologists are often called up as witnesses in court cases to help the jury understand the mind of the criminal. Some types of psychiatry also deal with aspects of criminal behavior.
