This study unit is part of the module Psychology of Safety (202000348). During the lectures, elementary psychological theories on responses to physical and social safety issues, and on intervention strategies in the safety domain will be put forward. The lectures will build on the department’s research that is conducted in collaboration with national and international partners such as law enforcement authorities (the police, probation services, prisons) national mediation agencies, the National Crisis Centre, other universities and (international) research centres on risk and safety. The theory lectures will be supplemented by lectures of expert guests that illustrate the application of the theories in particular safety contexts. Examples are:; conflict management; (criminal) behavior; ; risk psychology; (cyber) crime; and persuasive technology. Two exam training sessions will be organized to familiarize the students with the type of questions on the exams.
The study material of this “Theory” study unit consists mainly of a selection of scientific articles. The references to these required readings will be provided on Canvas.
