𝚿 What is Forensic Psychology

Forensic psychology is the intersection of psychology and the legal system and it involves applying psychological principles, methods, and expertise to legal issues, including criminal or civil court settings. Forensic psychologists use their understanding of behavior, mental health, and cognition to assist courts and attorneys in answering legal questions with expert forensic psychological evaluations.

The practice of forensic psychology involves the understanding of applicable laws in the relevant jurisdictions to be able to complete forensic psychological evaluations and to interact competently with attorneys and judges. A critical skill for a forensic psychologist is the ability to provide expert witness testimony in court, reformulating psychological findings into the legal language of the courtroom to provide information to the court in a way that is easily understood.
