    $169.95

    On-Demand Webinar

    Leverage state-of-the-art behavioral science about behavioral indicators that have been validly and reliably demonstrated as indicators of critical mental states. Presented by world-renowned psychologist Dr. David Matsumoto.

    Description

    Presented by Dr. David Matsumoto, understanding body language and reading people well is a crucial skill for many professionals whose jobs require interviews, interrogations, and information collection and reaction elicitation of others.

    Topics covered include knowledge and skill development to identify various behavioral indicators of specific emotions, cognitions associated with words or verbal phrases, cognitive processes, and overall arousal. Participants learn to apply this knowledge base and skills in interviews and interrogations, and improve their abilities to gain insights about the mindsets of the interviewees by focusing on the world of nonverbal behavior evaluated in context against verbal output.

    Participants are also guided through a hypothesis-testing approach at thinking critically about how such evaluations are made, as well as learning the scientific bases of the behavioral indicators covered.

    Learning Objectives

    Participants in this course will be supported to:

    1. Identify meaningful behavioral indicators associated with specific emotions, cognitions, and cognitive processes (and distinguish them from less meaningful behavior) in order to:
    2. Gain insights about the personalities, mindsets, motivations, and intentions of interviewees
    3. Identify meaningful content areas of the interview to the interviewee
    4. Assess veracity from deception
    5. Identify suspicious behavior and hostile intent
    6. Apply practice applying their newfound knowledge and skills in a template that helps them understand what they identified
    7. Practice the newfound knowledge, skills, and template application in order to facilitate interviewing efficacy

  • Neurocriminology

    $69.99

    Neurocriminology: Forensic and Legal Applications, Public Policy Implications explores the dramatic impact of advances in neuroscience research and practice to our present understanding of criminality and crime control. Contemporary, cutting-edge research in neuroscience is cited and explained. Studies and cases are clearly and concisely outlined with potential uses for practical applications detailed. This will be framed in the context of criminological foundations, theory, and the notion of the nature of crime itself. This comprehensive and engaging book also delves into recent developments in modern neurology, and connections between neuroscience and its criminal, legal, and forensic implications and ramifications.

    The book poses various questions about what insight neurology can provide to human cognition, to motivation and―in particular―criminal motivation. From biological observations is there a pattern, or are there similarities, in what the brainscan of a criminal looks like? What are the treatment implications and are their valid assessments or treatments that can be used in a corrections environment to curb, or even modify, behavior definitively? And, ultimately, what are the moral, legal and social implications of all? Coverage throughout incorporates leading research that links neurological and biological factors to heightened risk for criminality. This includes coverage of suboptimal arousal (low heart rate), testosterone, neurotransmitters, and variations in MAOA―the so-called “warrior gene”―and more.

    Neurocriminology will offer a thought-provoking analysis of the broad-reaching implications of this science to better inform the prevention, investigation, monitoring, and control of crime. This includes the remarkable potential for neuroscience to serve as a resource and potential tool to criminology and penology researchers, psychologists, forensic psychologists, forensic scientists, legal professionals, and investigators of crime and criminal behavior.
