Criminal psychology is the study of the thoughts, intentions, and behaviors of individuals who commit crimes, aiming to understand what drives criminal conduct and how offenders think and act. Criminal psychologists apply this knowledge to profiling, risk assessment, and courtroom testimony, often working alongside law enforcement and the legal system. It draws on clinical psychology, criminology, and behavioral science.
