	Criminal Psychology - MSN Encarta
		Criminal Psychology, the application of psychological approaches, theories, and methods to the understanding, explanation, prediction, and control of criminal behaviour, and the functioning of agents in the criminal justice system, such as trial witnesses and police.
		The fundamental contribution of criminal psychology has been to question the notion that criminals are either mentally ill or naturally evil (“mad” or “bad”), and to examine their motivation as being neither of these extremes or stereotypes, but a complex combination of inner and external influences.
		Criminal psychologists operate in all areas of criminology—for example, as consultants in particular criminal cases; as employees in prisons, concerned with the assessment and treatment of prisoners; or as academics who reflect upon the causes, maintenance, and rehabilitation of criminal behaviour.
