This engaging and thought-provoking class explores a range of historical true crime cases that are no longer sub judice, offering a structured and critical examination of how criminal cases unfold. Through in-depth, case-based learning, we will analyse police investigations, forensic decision-making, and suspect profiling, while also examining the role of media representation and the powerful influence of public opinion on case trajectories and outcomes. Moving beyond sensational headlines, this class will encourage you to explore how narratives are constructed, how perceptions of guilt and innocence are shaped, and how ethical issues—including miscarriages of justice and the wider societal impact of high-profile cases—emerge. Develop a critical understanding of investigative processes, explore the relationship between media coverage and public perception, examine the ethical complexities within the criminal justice system, and foster informed, balanced, and evidence-based discussion. Ideal for those with an interest in true crime, psychology, or criminal justice. This class provides an accessible yet intellectually rigorous environment that promotes critical thinking and meaningful engagement with real-world cases. Lecture style with question and answer time.
