Another great pilot!
This is a well-presented pilot on Forensic Psychology. I enjoyed, learned and surprised by the information presented in the pilot. Hopefully we will see complete course on the subject matter by this professor.

Fascinating introduction, I want to learn more
This is a topic of high importance to better understand. Very well-presented introduction. I enjoyed the lecture and want to know more about the current theories and state-of-knowledge on the subject (including the looming aftermath of the currently-ongoing war crime atrocities).

Very compelling subject
Not sure why there are so many Plus Pilots that haven't been given the green light for the full course treatment, but this is another one. Please add this as a full course. Also, it would be great to know the status of these pilots - when or if they will be expanded to a full course.

Fascinating topic
This is a fascinating topic and I learned so much from this first lecture. I look forward to seeing the rest of the course when it is released, which I hope is soon. Also, the professor's delivery is terrific. She is clear and concise.

I found this fascinating. I hope that more is to come. I was very disappointed when I couldn't find the full course anywhere.

Fascinating
My mother and I are doing The Great Courses together. We just finished an incredible Anthropology course and decided to delve into this one. It did not disappoint. We love the instructor! We feel the amount of information that we received in the piolet was unbelievable. We have to have the rest of this course. We will be watching for the debut of Dangerous Minds.

Overview
01: Dangerous Minds: Extreme Offenders
Katherine Ramsland, professor of forensic psychology, introduces you to the fascinating disciplines of criminology and forensic psychology—looking at the earliest documented cases from the 19th century and introducing you to the forefathers of criminal psychiatry. She then walks you through the evolution of research through the early 1970s when the FBI started the Behavioral Sciences Unit and began behavioral profiling for serial murder cases.
