Certifications

Certification: Becoming a Neuro-Criminology Informed Professional(NIP)

Enrolled

 Neurocriminology is an interdisciplinary subfield of criminology that incorporates methodological approaches from neuroscience, physiology, genetics, biology, and psychology. The goal of neurocriminology is to better understand, predict, prevent, and treat criminal and violent behaviors. Although there is no single determinant of such actions, neurocriminology strives to identify different risk factors that increase the likelihood of specific criminal and violent behaviors. This continuing education training certification program provides attendees with an in-depth examination of the neurocriminology field and its potential implications for interviewing, screening, and treating individuals involved in the criminal justice system. Attendees can also expect to learn how incorporating neurocriminology research into existing approaches can help allied disciplines work more effectively with clients who engage in anti-social, problematic, irrational, and other externalizing behaviors. This comprehensive program features 14 distinctive on-demand training sessions (42 total hours) that cover different topics related to neurocriminology.
