Understanding criminal behavior requires looking beyond the crime itself. This session introduces writers to the foundations of forensic psychology, exploring how development, environment, and mental processes shape offenders over time. Writers gain a clearer picture of motivation, decision making, and psychological influence, adding depth and realism to characters across crime fiction.
Crafting Stories That Last: Building Strong Characters and Structure
