About Forensic Psychology

Forensic psychology can be challenging but if you are resilient and willing to help and understand offenders, it could be the career for you. Forensic psychologists are scientist-practitioners. They apply psychological knowledge, theory and skills to the understanding and functioning of legal and criminal justice systems, and to conducting research in relevant areas. They often work in criminal, civil and family legal contexts and provide services for litigants, perpetrators, victims, and personnel of government and community organizations.
