S942: Forensic Psychology in Rainstorm Summer 2025 (Jul. 26 - 27, 2025)

(Adapted from the same class taught by Dr. Emily Quin at the University of Cambridge). This course will focus on the application of psychology in the United States legal system, namely in situations like witness interviews, person identification, deception, and jury decision-making. This course requires no prerequisites, and is meant to give students a brief but fun and easy-to-understand introduction to the factors that influence how the law is carried out in this country.
