Document Summary
Module 77: the psychology of law, education, and sports. September 1st,1995; paul bernardo (canada"s most famous rapist and serial killer) was convicted of murdering 2 teenage girls after raping and torturing them. Since he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison as a dangerous offender chances are so slim that he"ll ever be paroled. So much more to profiling criminals, more of how and where psychology intersects w/ forensic and legal issues. Psychology in action; two places you can see that is in classrooms and sporting events which are capable of bringing some of the best and worst of human behaviour. Best place to see psychology in action is the local courthouse; jury trials are often fascinating studies in human behaviour. Psychology of law is the law of behavioural dimensions of the legal system.
