This is designed for coroners to identify components of victimology useful to coroners towards accurate determination of manner of death, define forensic victimology, and explore using Pettler's Research-Based Forensic Victimology in the field.
"VICTIMOLOGY IN THE FIRST 48." That is the mantra and theme of this course. Victimology is the analytical study of the victim. For the purpose of this course, death investigation is defined as a multi-disciplinary approach of scientific inquiry that coroners should implement in every unattended and/or unexpected death. Victimology is not part of a death investigation, it is the core of scientific death investigation. Yet, coroners nationwide often skip this critical component towards accurate manner of death rulings. Victimology should be done within the first 48 hours post-death. This course teaches you about the what and why about victimology.
All death investigations should include conducting victimology within the first 48 hours post-death. This course teaches you how to begin that journey.

Frequently asked questions
The LPAIFI Online Division is self-paced. That means you can enroll and begin when you pay your tuition and you then have two weeks to complete the course. It's a good idea to set weekly goals for yourself to make sure you stay on track to complete the course within two weeks.
No. eBooks are not included with tuition. Most ebooks are available on Amazon as downloads on a Kindle App or other book reader. Books are typically very reasonably priced under $20 and are normally widely available.
All quizzes and essays must be successfully completed and submitted by 11:59pm EST on the last day of the course. Certificates of Completion are automatically generated by the course itself when all quizzes and essays have been graded by the course instructor and final points are entered into the grade book. If you ever find that you're confused, you can always contact your instructor or connect@lpa.solutions for help.
Yes, yes, and no. Why? Because some of the essay questions are based on the material contained within. Discussion is optional, but if you have time don't miss out on such a great learning experience as watching slideshows and videos. By the same token, Discussion is a great way to meet other people in your class, ask questions about anything that comes to mind, and to engage with your instructor. Networking is power.
Instructors are active in the LPAIFI Online Monday through Friday at least three days of the week. To contact your instructor, use the Course Email Tool in the right hand corner of the course that is located between your account icon and the Discuss icon. Instructors typically respond to student emails within 48 hours.
