Description

The practise of applying psychology as a science and a profession to problems and matters involving the law and the judicial system is known as forensic psychology. Today, the term "forensic" describes the application of scientific theories, methods, and procedures to the adversarial process, wherein particularly skilled scientists play a part. The area where psychology and the criminal justice system meet is known as forensic psychology. In order to deal correctly with judges, lawyers, and other legal professionals, it requires knowledge of criminal law in the relevant jurisdictions. It is not without controversy that forensic psychology is expanding. Some claim that forensic psychologists are hired guns who can be paid to repeat a particular viewpoint. The scientific review of psychological data is becoming more intense as a result of recent court decisions. The forensic psychologist who worked must also be familiar with the principles, regulations, and standards of the legal system in order to be a credible witness. There are regulations governing hearsay evidence as well, but the exclusionary rule is the most significant. This book offers profound insight into many aspects of the challenges surrounding the topic.
