This module will give you a deeper understanding of the mind-set and behaviour of violent and extremist individuals or groups. You will explore the main methods of profiling and evaluate the appropriateness of different approaches to solving problems with subjects of terrorism and violence. Furthermore, you will be exposed to the characteristics of extreme and violent behaviour, and learn how to construct a well-formed and detailed profile of any relevant subject, whether an individual, an organisation or even a whole society, in a matter that will assist in better understanding of the investigated phenomenon and will also allow the prediction of these subjects’ future behaviour.

This module will consist of a minimum of 45 contact hours with teaching taking place between 9 am and 5 pm from Monday to Friday.
