	I used to dream of being a forensic psychologist but after discussing an fp's job? Na-ah. Their responsibilities and tasks are interesting however I believe that in order to become one, you have to be almost perfect. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Forensic Psychology Is borderlineschiz 2003-02-21 01:58 (link)

The criminal profiler[criminal forensic psycologist] creates a psychological profile or picture of a suspect based on what he/she knows about motivation, mental illness, and also human behavior. The best place to begin getting an idea of a criminal's mind is often at the scene of a crime. Investigators pay particular attention to the things done at the scene or to the victim and also to the things not done. These observations can lead to a behavioral profile of the yet unknown suspect. Once the behavioral profile is done, the profiler can then compare this to other criminals or mental patients with the same basic characteristics. I hope that helps for those of you who dont n o what a forensic psychologist does! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
