I am really happy for you! I wish you the best of luck! I am 21 so a lot younger and studying psychology, but I had a rough start in life. I really want to be a forensic clinical psychologist. It is good you're chasing your dreams.

I’m late 40s This is my dream.... associate or bachelor degree

[@clairefletcher7343]

At the age of 41 I just began my BSc (hons) in forensic psychology and can’t wait to go onto my masters and doctorate to qualify as a practitioner. Never too old to better yourself and develop new skills!

This is excellent really inspiring, there are so many fields of psychology available to explore isn’t this marvellous that we can help so many people in different ways 😊

I'm a forensic psychologist in Spain. I really enjoy working with inmates, drug addicts and juvenile delinquents. As well writing expert witness reports The successes really pay off

[@samt6840]

Hey I’m really interested And was wondering if u can you give me a well explained definition of what forensic psychology is I don’t get it very well

[@juanarocha8629]

@@samt6840 its psychology in the legal system, but we mainly work with the defendants/prisoners all the way from court to the actual penitentiary centre In court, we look at the people who form part of the Jury, mediation and we can also work as Expert Witnesses, however Barristers prefer to have clinical psychologists for this. In prison we combine forensic and psychological knowledge to develop and apply therapies to treat offender so they become rehabilitated and successfully reinserted into society, and be able to serve sentences in a healthy manner. So imagine you're treating a young kid who misbehaved badly, except that young kid can often be an adult. Its not CSI, Criminal Minds type of stuff where the psychologist goes out in the field, and catches criminals, if you wanna do that you might as well study criminology and join the police. Also remember these are people who committed crimes, in other words heavy stuff, you need to have thick skin and a strong stomach when looking at cases and if someone turns hostile due to poor raport. Hope this helped

[@ciaraskeleton]

I studied half of my BCS in regular clinical psychology and took a step back because I needed to think about what I'll specialise in. I think I know now! I'd love to work with victims and with offenders, or people who are both (as people frequently are). I have a strong background and understanding within crime, DV, SA, I'm from a council estate where half of my neighbours are in gangs, or are active criminals. I know people and I know how nuanced life and humans are, I really feel that the forensic side is suited to me. ❤

Soo do these people study criminals to gather evidence when being questioned for example, body language, eye contact etc or do they help criminals reform?

[@tillywhitehouse5850]

that’s what i’m thinking too

[@camillamiti659]

both. and depends on if you’re going to be a criminal psychologist or a forensic psychologist. in particular, a forensic psychologist does both equally

[@morgantaylor9072]

body language is deemed a pseudoscience by a lot of psychologists. A forensic psychologist will do research into who is committing crimes, why they commit them and how do they help them to not reoffend going forward. They will do risk assessments for prison release, risk assessments for them in custody etc. Practically, they will apply their evidence from research to improve peoples lives. There will also be forensic psychologists who might lean towards cognitive psychology and maybe look at eyewitness testimony, memory in eyewitnesses etc
