Introduction to the language of criminal law

Do you find yourself stuck when reading a legal text on criminal law due to the language used? Are you confused or feel lost when listening to native English speakers discuss a criminal law issue due to the complexity of the terminology?

This course is intended for anyone either studying or working in some capacity in the field of criminal law (and particularly for non-native English speakers). It introduces students (or provides a good review for those already with some knowledge) to key vocabulary, concepts, collocations and prepositions in the area of criminal law. It can also be a good introduction to the world of criminal law for those with no background  in that field whatsoever.

This course offers a quick practical introduction to the area of criminal law with focus on key terminology, collocations, prepositions, procedural chronology, case brief writing and reading/listening comprehension based on current and controversial criminal law cases. By the end of the course, you should have the basics of the language of criminal law to be able to understand and communicate with others smoothly and accurately.

You will learn key terminology related to types of criminal offences; review typical chronology of a criminal case; study key criminal law concepts and terms, etc. You will perfect your reading comprehension skills based on a recent controversial “manslaugter by words” case along with structuring a basic case brief, a skill required of any law student. Similarly, you will also perfect your listening / video comprehension skills based on two videos dealing with current global white collar crimes (financial crimes) cases: the first one relating to Elizabeth Holmes’ criminal trial and the second related to sentencing process of white collar crime convicts.

This mini course is not intended to go in-depth into the area of criminal law, but rather, provide you with the very basics to be able to speak, read, write and understand content related to this area of law.

The approach is rather practical with an introductory session of approx. 80 minutes accompanied by a pdf script of everything said in the video along with key exercises in order to put the theory into practice. All the materials mentioned in the video are attached as resources in each of the 6 Lectures.

Feel also free to leave your comments and thoughts related to the criminal law related questions raised in the course, particularly through the two video comprehension excercises and the reading comprehension exercise on the course forum.

Criminology and Criminal Psychology | Certified CSI+ Course

While acquainting students with criminal science, focusing on how is fundamental, different ideas and standards of hypothetical improvement are woven into how we might interpret. This part starts with a concise conversation of such ideas as wrongdoing, criminal, degenerate, criminal science, law enforcement, and agreement and struggle viewpoints of criminology. The accompanying segment presents an overall rundown of the unique phases of the grown-up law enforcement system, as well as the adolescent equity. The first section of our Criminology and Criminal psychology training presents a general summary of the different stages of the criminal justice system, as well as the justice system. Next, this section illustrates how criminology informs policies and programs. Unfortunately, there are instances when policies are not founded
on criminological theory and rigorous research, but are more of an interesting reaction to perceived problems. The second section provides an overview of victimology and various issues related to victims of crime.

Crime, like so many things in our social world, has a certain taken-for-granted or common-sense nature. When we use the term, we assume the category is meaningful; that is, we assume that those to whom we are talking will understand what we’re

talking about and will tend to use the term in the same way as we do. This, of course, is the basis upon which the social world operates on assumptions about the taken-for-granted meaningfulness of the vocabulary we use and the behaviours we enact. The word crime is used regularly in everyday conversation. That it is used in this manner implies that there is a sufficient level of common understanding for it to be meaningful. On one level, this is undoubtedly the case.

However, this masks a number of complexities. As we will see, identifying the boundary between acts that are crimes, and acts which are not crimes, is often far from straightforward.

CRIMINAL PSYCHOLOGY: Crime & Personality Disorders

Would you like to learn about Criminal Psychology? Are you interested in individual behaviour and personalities? Then you are in the right place!

In this course, we will be looking at few theories that explain the links between criminal offence and various personality disorders. For example, we will be learning about Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and other types of disorders that might be linked to the crime. We will also explore the topic of ‘Is anyone capable of murder?’. Other topics that you will find interesting would be for example, ‘How do personality traits affect anger and violence in some people’, ‘Can we predict criminal behaviour in some people?’, ‘What makes the person engage in the sex-related offence?’, and much more!

Life Course Criminology: Crime across the Life Span

Welcome to this Introduction to Life Course Criminology course, which explains how criminal careers develop using principles from the sociology of crime and criminal psychology.

Why do some people start committing crime, and why do others not? Why do some offenders commit crime their whole life, and why do others not? How can offenders change their criminal careers and stop? This course will teach you how and why criminal careers develop the way they do using a lens from sociology and criminal psychology.

Understand Criminal Careers from All Angles

In this course, we’ll cover the fundamental areas of life course criminology:

– The Development of Criminal Careers – What does the life course of offenders look like?

– Different Types of Offenders – Are there different groups of offenders and what are they?

– Early Risk Factors – What childhood characteristics can put children on a pathway to crime?

– Turning Points – What life events can help offenders to stop committing crime?

– Specialization versus Generalization – Do offenders specialize in one crime type or do they commit all types of crime?

Criminology & Psychiatry: Drugs Abuse and Recovery

Important Psychological Mechanisms and Philosophy to understand the Deeper Correlation between Drugs (Ab)use and Perceived Happiness. I’m addressing here mostly the actual Drugs and not Pharmaceuticals. The Drugs I’m talking about are mostly the plant medicine drugs that are ancient and used to alter consciousness and experiment with higher consciousness.

Not all drugs are equally addictive, but all drugs can be dangerous in the wrong hands, even for the person themselves, if they don’t know what they’re doing. However there is a huge need to clarify the grounds and corners and lines between helpful USE, aka medicinal use of drugs, and abuse, where there is only harm done to the individual and their environment. For that reason I wanted to make this course, to make some kind of ground to understand that equal and fair treatment can help and benefit both the user, the abuser and the therapist. If both pharmaceuticals and drugs can be fairly used in a healthy way when needed, and not when abused (because pharmaceuticals are also abused often times), then there can be a ground for future perspective of a healthier society.

I’m addressing especially drugs abuse and sexual addiction or heartbroken problems, because these are the main connections where people can get addicted beyond what they and society at large can handle. It is a psychological mechanism, and to become clean, is to actually psychologically learn how to EMOTIONALLY let GO.

Criminology: Why do people commit crime?

UPDATE: All my courses now come with custom Certificate of Completion!

Crime has been part of society ever since humanity started the whole concept of “society,” and we seem to be no closer to solving the problem of crime than we were thousands of years ago. Crime rates in every country seem to go up and down with little correlation to new laws, law enforcement policies, and punishments for crime.

Sociologists, Criminal Justice researchers, and others have been trying to scientifically determine why some people commit crime and others don’t, and why some criminals commit a little crime and some criminals commit a LOT of crime. There are many theories that attempt to explain how and why people become criminals, and each one has a different set of assumptions, claims, and policy implications. This course will be an overview of the most popular scientific theories about crime causation, and will prepare the student to discuss, propose, and implement behavior and policies that may reduce criminal offending.

Criminology: The Study of Doughnuts

Criminology has many meanings but at its widest and most commonly accepted it is taken to be the study of crime, criminals and criminal justice. There are many different approaches to criminology and the subject itself has been shaped by many different academic disciplines.

This course focuses on sociology and criminology. It outlines the distinctiveness of a sociological approach to crime and suggests how this differs from other approaches. 

If you are a criminal – don’t get this course. This course is meant for cops and for law enforcement personnel. 

If you are a police officer or a criminal lawyer or even a judge – and you haven’t taken this yet and you don’t know how criminals think and what makes them do what they do then you are losing the fight. It’s a war against crime and for justice. We are in this together and when I teach you about crime and about criminals I do so because you are not as effective as you should be when it comes to realizing that the academic instituion can offer you tools that you rarely use. Here they are. Crime is a subject of study and society is something we can observe and learn from. 

Introduction to Criminology: Explaining Crime

Have you ever wondered why some people commit crime? Do you want to better understand criminology and provide expert insights in discussions about crime?

If that is the case, this course is for you. In this criminology course – the first of its kind on Udemy – I will give you a full introduction to the ins and outs of explaining crime.

You’ll Learn the full Spectrum of Criminology

Every day, we are confronted with real crime stories in the newspaper, on TV, and online. This course will go beyond the quick soundbites and headlines of news stories and help you understand the backgrounds of criminal behavior.

In this course, we’ll cover several core domains of criminology:

–          The Psychology of Criminal Minds – How can the mind contribute to crime?

–          The Body and Crime – How do biological factors (e.g., genes, the brain) come into play when it comes to criminal behavior?

–          Decision-Making – How and why do people choose to commit crime?

–          Sociology and Social Influence – How do the people and the places around us influence our criminal behavior?

Professional Criminology Foundation

Criminology is the study of crime and deviant behavior. We must understand that crime is committed by people who are around us in our society or communities that we all live in, the relevant question here is, why should one human being harm another human being or why should one human being do evil against another human being. There is a complete psychological angle to criminality, let put it in context that everybody is capable of committing crime, why are others committing crime and others are not committing crime. Let me make it clear that our individual upbringing is a contributing factor to our chosen behavior. In the angle of authoritative parenting: parents demonstrate a responsiveness to the child’s needs, demandingness, monitoring of child’s behavior, providing clear standards of conduct, and discipline based on reasoning rather than based on power or withdrawal of love. Authoritative parents provide home environment rich with strict behavior supervision with high degree of emotional support. The problems on this earth mostly comes from the training from home, anytime the home is better, the nation is also better. Governments investments towards the home is one of the panacea for building a peaceful nation.

One of the most dominant ideas under the umbrella of education’s impact on crime is the belief that a reduction in crime can most often be achieved by increased crime prevention and that the most effective form of crime prevention is achieved through education. There is a discussion that the level of individual education is a contributing factor to that persons violent behavior. Governments all over the world must ensure that they put in appropriate measures to prevent crime such as Putting CCTV cameras and security sensors across the whole nation, employing more security personnel such as police etc to ensure that law and order is maintained. Carefully handling of social issues is very important example giving every child free and quality education.

Forensic Accounting and Investigation

Forensic accountants or auditors take a unique focus on performing their work. Typically, when a person with forensic experience is called in to examine financial records, it is due to suspicion of fraud, evaluation of assets, or even to track down fundamentally incorrect accounting – intentional or not.

As fraud continues to raise its head in business processes, forensic accountants are discovering new and unique ways to identify, examine, and support their hypotheses and investigative techniques. The work performed by a forensic specialist can be interesting and full of potential potholes if evidence isn’t examined according to proper protocols and standards.

In this course, we examine the many processes and roles of the forensic accountant. We discuss rules of evidence and the accountant’s potential need to testify in a court of law. Learners will come away with an in-depth understanding of the world of forensic accounting and the many ways in which it may differ from the typical accountant’s role.

If you would like Continuing Education Credit (e.g. CPE, CE, CPD, etc.) for this course, it is available if you take this course on the Illumeo dot com platform under course title: Forensic Accounting and Investigation. Illumeo is certified to provide CPE in over two dozen different professional certifications covering finance, accounting, treasury, internal audit, HR, and more.

Cryptocurrency Financial Crime Compliance Bootcamp

It was over one decade ago that the first cryptocurrency Bitcoin was invented. Since then, many things have changed, new cryptocurrencies were invented and eventually they became part of the products and services offered by large organizations.

Financial Crime Essentials - Go Beyond AML!

The field of financial crime compliance is changing. In today’s environment it is no longer enough for a financial crime or compliance professional to be able to describe money laundering or terrorist financing, they must also have a strong understanding of the potential predicate offences – “the crime behind the crime”.

With this knowledge, investigators are better able to understand the activity they are observing, articulate their findings, and present the final intelligence product to their audience.

This course examines a wide range of financial and white collar crimes, linking these predicate offences to the indicators of money laundering / terrorist financing.

Testimonials

“The course filled several gaps in my understanding of financial crimes and is a great resource for those looking for an introduction to a variety of financial crime topics. The course is well structured, easy to follow, and offers numerous pertinent examples shedding light on financial crimes in Canada and across the globe. The fact these examples cover several decades, illustrates that financial crimes have, and always will be, an issue that law enforcement and financial sectors grapple with.”

“I found the course to be very informative. I was impressed with both the quality and quantity of the information, and I learned quite a bit about aspects of financial crime, money laundering, and how it all interacts with technology. My favourite parts of the courses were the times when we got to see news reports and clips from documentaries, as I felt that these segments really helped me to put what we were learning in the context of the real world. The content was so interesting I was actually disappointed when it was over! I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in financial crime.”
