MODULE FOUR: Forensic Psychology
Courtroom
What do forensic psychologists do? The popular view is that they help the police catch serial killers. Whilst forensic psychologists may actually do this, the reality is that their work is usually much broader. Forensic psychologists apply psychological theory and skills to the understanding and functioning of the legal and criminal justice system. The aim of this module is to help dispel popular myths by introducing students to some of the diverse areas in which forensic psychologists might work or be involved with.
