Forensic Psychology: The Real World of CSI

Dr. Jeffery Kieliszewski from Human Resource Associates presents on his experience in the criminal justice system as a forensic Psychologist. This is the first lecture in the 2009-2010 Psychology Speakers Series. See the full list at www.grcc.edu/psychologyspeakers

[@bidensson4643]

The most reassuring part of your lecture for me was when you said, "to be honest, it never gets boring." That is one of the most important things for me, as a psych undergrad interested in forensic psychology. I too find criminal behavior particularly fascinating.

[@josiemurray6767]

Don't like this guy my opinion but he's not for me. If he gives you the creeps usually a reason. He OK with you having a gun although might not be OK???? I'm no or is that just me ?

[@husseymangtv]

Same . I can work on this stuff all day

[@tjpetrecca4907]

Hey man, i'm genuinely curious where did your psych undergrad lead you? I'm currently a sophomore in my 3rd semester at PSU University Park majoring in psychology and have a heavy interest in forensic psychology. Any guidance would be great, thanks.

[@he_who_got_mcmad3003]

hey, I doubt you're still active since you clearly graduated with flying colours and are working an amazing job, but I have a couple questions about psychology studies or criminology study and was wondering if you could answer a few of those

[@Michelina22]

It’s absolutely interesting, Criminal Psychology is what got me going forward with criminal Justice and criminal investigation as well, love it all. Forensics is new to me and I had no idea how much I’d love it ✝️

[@thebluehotel426]

I like him. He's as confused as me.

[@peteronyangoonyoyo7552]

I teach psychology of the court under the field of forensic psychology and I find this video very instructive and helpful. I thank you so much for this great contribution.

[@erikamnesian2786]

This video gives me great motivation to be sober.

I'm currently pursuing my graduate degree in forensic psychology. This video confirms my decision to also attain my doctorate. Enjoyed this presentation. Very informative.

11 minutes in and captivated. A great speaker who keeps things interesting from the start. Thanks Dr Jeffrey.

[@user-ks9zn9qz7y]

The dry jokes though

[@badphish2435]

"I live right down the street. You're lucky to have somebody so close to lecture on the subject"... cause he ain't getting paid much! 🤣

[@shananagans5]

Wow, I am really glad to see so many people interested in this. I am a psych in a jail & we ALWAYS need people. Forensics is a great field, there are multiple diff things you can do. In a jail you do assessments as soon as people get arrested, often just hrs after they have murdered someone, deal with urgent situations in the facility ect. Working in a jail does have lots of ho hum boring days but there is enough to keep it exciting & it pays well for a psychologist position.

[@bastet5909]

I'm a Canadian planning to pick forensic psychology in future and the part where he mentioned Canada being "miles ahead" in research just locked it in for me 😆

[@MsEnternity]

I'm taking a class in Forensic Psychology as my major is in psychology, and the best way to learn is to learn from the people who work in the field! Great lecture and I must say, I am happy to have a great teacher and to be able to learn even more from you!

[@ytugtbk]

I have greater faith in the profession having watched this presentation.

[@DontClarify]

I'm a psychology student, this might have inspired me to become a forensic psychologist

[@rogerjenkins7485]

+DontClarify I wouldn't go after your forensic degree until you get your criminal justice degree first; believe me, it will help.

[@sschmid1000]

I agree. I work in Acute Psychiatry Intensive Care/ Emerge. getting acute mental healthcare experience by becoming a security also is helpful for future psychiatrists. Get one on one with patients and nurses.

[@tallbeauty]

Are you pursuing it now (2 years later)? I'm just finishing up my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice and watched this about a year ago. I want to go into Forensic Psych but the amount of school (and cost) is a bit of an issue for me. .

[@alyssahenry1278]

Kendra Johnson some schools have a specific Forensic Psychology program. I'm currently a Forensic Phsych major at Southern New Hampshire University and found many schools over the US with this program/major available

[@womanxyz14]

So did it? (After 6 years) .. fully inspire you?

[@womanxyz14]

So fun. Listening this lecture on a Saturday night. what a good date I'm having with Dr. Jeffery Kieliszewski.

[@BODACIOUSBRYAN]

He kinda looks like an older version of Marty from back to the future.

[@Patrick-cy2zh]

Lol I guess so

[@shainaleann67]

I was thinking the same thing! 😂

[@davidd6962]

Having a substance abuse disorder doesn't make you insane and/or incompetent to strand trial. It merely offers a starting point for rehabilitation. Being clinically addicted to alcohol isn't illegal, but getting behind the wheel while intoxicated is, disordered or not. Furthermore, the disorder in question might make a man tempted beyond reason to drink alcohol, but the nature of the disorder had nothing to do with placing an involuntary person in the driver seat.

[@RemiRose1]

Hi Jeff, I am currently studying psychology and planning on getting into forensics in sydney. My 10yo son has conducted criminal activity in the past due to a complete lack of understanding of how to live life in this world as expected. He is now a state ward. He now gets the high levels of intervention he needs simply to survive in this world. Thank you for doing your job. Justice needs to be accurate and fair.

[@JC-bg7pe]

There are MANY cases where "flashers" behavior/violence escalated to murder. One example is the Golden State killer.

[@alfiebooboo]

I'll be starting my undergraduate forensic psychology degree here in the uk in September and watching this is so fascinating. I hope in the uk it's just as interesting as learning in the USA

[@ChantyBoogz]

This lecture is so informative. I am a Criminal Justice major, I already have my Associate's. I want to get into the Prison system not as a Psychiatrist though.

[@LoveAuntAshley]

It really makes me feel alot better to know that sociopathy is not a mental illness and therefore a person who is a sociopath cannot be found as insane and incompetent to stand trial. Sociopathy sounds so much like a diagnosis that I thought that's what people were trying to do was downplay the persons actions by giving them a label. It's good to know there are questions you can ask yourself that determine whether a person is a sociopath or not.

[@TheHRMommy]

What an incredible lecture! Taking a forensic psych course, and this was so interesting! Thanks for sharing

[@AbenakiNH]

Fun listen...and yes, some misstatements of fact as pointed out by other previous posters, but he is free-forming for a class, not providing a training session. No quiz at the end of the class either. :-)) It was interesting that he referenced OJ case, as demographically it is likely that the majority of the class may not have yet been born (1994). :-)))

[@holycowbatman10]

I love the fact that this is on here.

[@oldemailiamnotusinganymore7413]

Highly informative, intriguing, yet I had a real hard time hearing some of the questions that were being asked due to it not being loud enough when some people were asking questions. Am 3 courses away from a Bachelors Degree in Professional Studies with a concentration in Psychology.

Thank you Jeff for opening my eyes about forensic Psychology. I have been doubting about what path of psychology to choose and after your lecture I have much better understanding that forensic psychology is probably not for me. I had absolutely different thoughts and expectations before seeing your video as media present it in totally different way. Thank you ! Stacy Sydney

Thanks, this really helped. I've been interested in this study for a while now. I'm only in middle school so, I guess I'll have a higher start...maybe. I love the way he presented his lecture. I'm taking notes on this and I have a question. Would it do me good to say study acts of my friends, family, teachers ect. and try putting them into particular legal Statues? Or do you think that would confuse me a bit more? Thanks~

[@LiftRunPressWorkout]

This is Very interesting!!

[@CynicalAMVs]

Dr. Jeffrey does additionally state that she was being prescribed medication beyond what was necessary to her. Essentially, she was under the influence to the degree of being able to be eligible for an insanity plea, because the insanity law disregards the length of a persons' mental state, but rather applies the mental state when the crime was committed.

[@guardianoftruth1468]

This was amazing!!!!

My daughter wants to be a forensic psychologist and is a rising senior in high school. As she looks at colleges, are there any that would best prepare her AND what should be her major? Of course psychology is what we are thinking, but we are hearing there are other pathways. Syracuse University has a great Forensic Science program that she would love to apply to, or she can major in criminology. I would love to hear your thoughts, advice. Thank you.

[@fugazifreezone9595]

I believe just the basic premise of profiling is sound. The problem is very few people can think out of the box and they account for the unexpected or anomalies.

[@Docter6000]

wooooow i really enjoyed this

[@kieran3415]

This is a great video but be realistic if you pursue a career in forensics only the best of the best get in and it's a extremely competitive area. You have to sacrifice alot and take a huge risk.

A little wrong about the criminal profiling part. They actually said it was a black male for the Atlanta killings but the press didn’t like that (couldn’t accept it wasn’t the Klan), however I get his point that it can be inaccurate.

[@ulrikezachmann7596]

Your lecture was very interesting even though I am not a forensic student but a mature aged person who has worked with a cross section of people in the health and the care sector. I have an interest in why people do the things they do. I have found with younger people that they are more often victims of crime and then go on to emulate the behaviours inflicted on them. There is little support for these people even in many Western Cultures and perhaps Northern European countries are at least more on the right track somewhat like Norway and Sweden. Alternately in the West nothing much is done when people go through the justice process only to behave worse and worse and cycle repeats itself. I do wander though why women often get harsher sentences for the same or lesser crimes as men. A lot of crime has to do with power dynamics. People do things because they can. We bathe so much in scientific jargon like fetishising stuff and give it the disease label. The Psychopathic personality is more common in men and is rather reduced in the female population. Just a thought. Quite often the same crimes are committed over and over until a total disaster happens and people saw it coming, just not the courts or Psychiatrists.

The video title is not correct: CSI is forensic science not psychology. To be a CSI (Crime Scene Investigator) you have to study for a degree in science not psychology. Of course psychology, and its allied areas, play a major part in the solving of crimes, just differently from a CSI.

Have you never heard of the psychology model and legal theory? You are obviously on the legal side, but the goal of having a forensic psychologist in the court is to help or inform the jury or judge, not to defend the offender. Do your research before attempting to criticize something with your ignorant feelings.

[@d10scollections]

It certainly is informative for someone who never heard a lecture of any relevant course BUT he seems to rely on basic knowledge on many topics.
