What exactly is a forensic psychologist?
In simple terms, a forensic psychologist is an expert in the areas where psychology and the legal system merge. In addition to possessing a doctorate degree and license to practice psychology, a forensic psychologist has also obtained specialized training, supervision, and experience in select areas of forensics. Though not an attorney, a forensic psychologist has a familiarity with the legal system and is an expert at obtaining and presenting scientific data in legal arenas.
