Unit synopsis
Forensic Psychology is one of the fastest growing areas of psychology globally. Psychologists are now involved significantly in all stages of the criminal justice system. The term 'forensic' literally means 'of or used in law courts' (Australian Oxford Paperback Dictionary). The phrase 'psychology and the justice system', however, is now used more generally to describe the different ways in which psychology and law intersect - namely psychology in the law (assessing clinical issues), psychology and the law (researching experimental and policy issues), and psychology of the law (examining legal processes and policy analysis). By its very nature the study of psychology and the justice system draws from a multidisciplinary base for the application of specialised knowledge. As a student of this discipline area, you will need a broad appreciation of (and a critical perspective on) what the study of psychology involves.
