Course overview

Forensic psychology uses science to answer legal questions in criminal, civil, contractual, and other judicial proceedings. Forensic psychology includes research and practice on psychology-law topics like jury selection, reducing systemic racism in criminal law, and eyewitness testimony. Wilhelm Wundt, Hugo Münsterberg, and Sigmund Freud were early contributors to the field. Forensic psychology today applies "the scientific, technical, or specialized knowledge of psychology to the law" in several subfields. The APA's specialty guidelines for Forensic Psychologists mention social, clinical, experimental, counseling, and neuropsychology.
