Forensic psychology can involve a variety of subfields, such as criminal psychology, forensic neuropsychology, and forensic psychiatry. Some forensic psychologists may also work in correctional facilities or other settings where individuals with criminal histories are being treated or evaluated. Overall, forensic psychology plays an important role in the criminal justice system by helping to improve our understanding of criminal behavior, informing legal decisions, and contributing to the overall safety and well-being of individuals and communities.
