Case Study (Murder of an intimate partner)
Each day a capstone case study is presented to highlight some of the major aspects covered that day.
Some individual sessions will also use a case study approach to apply theory to practice. This is a practical
seminar that will give participants the tools they need to perform a competent victimology using social
science theory and application in order to answer questions that will better inform investigations, the
management of victims, and forensic outcomes.
