Learning Objectives
To Develop an understanding of 360 Case Analysis Utilizing Social
Science Forensics Approach
1. Develop a spectrum of social science case lenses through which to view
data
2. To guide the case data through a variety of disciplines to offer different
perspectives and to yield new paradigms and proofs
3. To recognize that new crimes and new realities mandate new paradigms
4. To develop new teaching modalities and perspectives
5. To develop an understanding of the utility of a psychological autopsy
6. Recognize the import & contributions of an expanded predictive data
base
SOCIAL SCIENCE FORENSICS
Every Crime is a Gestalt

the social science data and the physical
findings
