Forensic Psychology

 

Trust and truth go hand in hand.

Forensic psychology is the application of science around questions and issues relating to law and the legal system. The word “forensic” comes from the Latin word “forensis,” meaning “of the forum,” where the law courts of ancient Rome were held. Modern forensics refers to applying scientific principles and practices to the adversary process where scientists with specialized knowledge play a role.
