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.
