It was a really good and extremely informative course. Even after reading a lot of books on this topic I still found out about lots of new things and made many notes for the future. I also found the short notes and long explanations as well as the statistics very effective. Thank you!

I took this course purely for interest, but found it very short and basic. I would have liked to have gotten in much deeper.

Good one, very well taught! I only expected it to be a little longer, perhaps with some case studies. Be aware this is veeeery introductory indeed.

I love how brief and quick it was. It gave me the brief intro i needed to see if criminal psychology is my thing, which it definitely is, but also gave me a nice brief outlook on new points and fruits to think about. The course was in simple English, with plenty of explanations and short quizzes to ensure that information is retained. Thank you
