Criminal psychology is a field of study that examines the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of individuals who commit crimes. It combines principles from psychology, criminology, and sociology to understand the motivations and mental states of offenders. Criminal psychologists may analyze criminal behavior patterns, assess the psychological profiles of offenders, and contribute to criminal investigations by providing insights into why individuals engage in criminal activities.
