CJ 5600 - Violent Behavior: A Biopsychosocial Approach

Effective Start Date: 03/01/2009
This course for law enforcement managers examines six (6) general areas of violent behaviors which directly affect the law enforcement officer. After developing a biopsychosocial conceptual framework with which to understand violent behavior, these principles will be applied to specific topics and cases. Topics discussed in this seminar may be occasionally supplemented with guest speakers and practitioners from varied fields, but related fields of criminal justice and mental health. Students are required to bring with them a closed, fully adjudicated case. Cases may deal with homicides, sex offenses, suicide by cop, or a hate-related case.
