    Criminal psychology is the study of criminals and criminal behavior, including their thoughts, intentions, actions and reactions. It examines what causes someone to commit a crime and their reactions after, whether on the run or in court. Criminal psychologists are often called as witnesses to help juries understand the criminal mind. Criminal behavior can be difficult to define as the line between acceptable and unacceptable actions can change over time and depend on social norms.

    Criminal Psychology

    Criminal psychology, also referred to as criminological


    psychology, is the study of the views, thoughts, intentions,
    actions and reactions of criminals and all who participate
    in criminal behavior.
    Criminal psychology 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.
    Criminal behavior can be stated as “Any kind of antisocial
    behavior, which is punishable usually by law but can be
    punished by norms, stated by community,” therefore, it is
    difficult to define it as there is a fine line between what could
    be considered okay and what's considered not to be, being
    considered as violation at one point of time may now be
    accepted by community.
