    Study Notes

    Criminology Study Notes

    • Criminal Investigation: Focuses on criminal profiling and creating a criminological report.
    • 4th Grade Criminology: Offered at the Universitat de Valencia's Faculty of Law.
    • Course Materials: Available for download without ads via the WUOLAH platform.
    • Topic 1: Psychopathy: Psychopathy involves manipulation, narcissism, and a lack of remorse, empathy, and accountability. Antisocial traits include impulsivity, lack of self-control, and disregard for the needs of others. Psychopaths frequently demonstrate a pattern of conduct with poor impulse control and often exhibit antisocial behaviour. Serial killers are often psychopathic individuals.
    • Violence: Two main types exist: instrumental (premeditated, planned) and reactive (impulsive, unplanned). Instrumental violence is more likely in psychopathy.
    • Serial Killers: Often psychopathic, operating with a lack of empathy and employing highly strategic criminal acts. They tend to operate in an area of violence that is purposeful and carefully planned, rather than being fueled by rage.
    • Serial Killer Definitions: Three types include: Serial Killer (two or more victims with distinct times and places), Multiple Killer (multiple victims in the same time and place), and Mobile Killer (multiple victims over a period of time at different places).
    • Criminal Profiling: Attempts to identify the characteristics and behaviours of perpetrators in order to help identify patterns and predict the next target.
    • Criminological Factors: Examining factors that contribute to or correlate with criminal behaviour.
    • Criminal Intent: A key component of criminal behaviour, involving the conscious, purposeful, or deliberate choice to commit a criminal act.
