Criminological and Forensic Psychology: Databases, journals and articles

Useful databases for Criminological and Forensic Psychology

Databases are searchable collections of good quality, academic material, particularly journal articles.  They can be small subject specific or large collections covering a wide range of subject areas. Most databases provide access to full-text items. Some are abstract only, so you can establish whether or not the research is suitable for your needs.

A number of databases are recommended for your course; follow the links in this section.
