Study Notes
Implications for Prevention and Intervention
- Understanding genetics and environment helps in psychological and criminological prevention strategies.
- Education for parents and caregivers fosters safe, nurturing environments for at-risk children.
- Therapy addressing both psychological and environmental influences is crucial for interventions.
Rehabilitation versus Punishment in Criminology
- Rehabilitation programs focus on recovery and reintegration of offenders rather than punitive measures.
- Alternative incarceration approaches aim to reduce recidivism and promote societal reintegration.

- Community policing initiatives like Rukun Tetangga engage citizens in crime awareness.
Crime Classifications in Malaysia
- Criminal investigations rely on accurate interviews and evidence gathering, including witness statements and suspect interrogations.
- Techniques used include Cognitive Interviewing and professional assessments like the Reid Technique.
Deceptive Behavior Detection Methods
- Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) detects lies through brain activity patterns associated with deception.
- Electroencephalogram (EEG) measures brainwave responses to recognize knowledge of crime-related information.
- Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) analyzes vocal changes to identify stress and possible deceit.
- Micro Expressions Analysis employs Facial Action Coding System (FACS) to detect involuntary facial expressions indicating emotions.
- Criteria-Based Content Analysis (CBCA) assesses narrative credibility, focusing on detail coherence and spontaneity.
Research Methods in Forensic Psychology
- Research encompasses psychological behavior, jury decision-making, and crime profiling.
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV) monitors help establish causality in stress-related deaths.
Risk Assessment in Criminology and Psychology
- Risk assessment identifies potential hazards related to criminal behavior and psychological evaluations.
- It stems from criminology and has expanded to various fields, including mental health.
Theoretical Frameworks of Risk Assessment
- Frameworks like psychopathy and social learning theory underpin risk assessment methodologies.
- Focus on individual characteristics, social dynamics, and environmental influences.
Methods of Risk Assessment
- Actuarial risk assessment uses statistical algorithms to estimate risk likelihood.
- Clinical risk assessment combines professional judgment with individual evaluations to determine risk.
- Structured professional judgment merges actuarial and clinical approaches for personalized assessments.
Risk Assessment in Parole and Probation
