This course traces human development throughout the life
span, including prenatal, infancy, toddlerhood, childhood, adolescence and
adulthood. The goal of the course is to
develop a clear picture of observable developmental milestones for each era,
within the traditional domains of behavior (i.e., cognitive, social/relational,
emotional, motivational and physical/biological). In addition, issues related to the
relationship between developmental issues and forensics will be emphasized,
including attachment as it relates to the development of conscience and self
control; risk and preventive factors as they relate to the development of
violent lifestyles; and delinquent and criminal career transitions in the
adolescent and adult life cycle.
