I want to throw this into the mix for clarity.

Forensic psychology is the application of psychological theory and scientific methods to legal proceedings. Forensic psychologists apply their knowledge to help understand criminal behavior and how to treat offenders, and to answer legal questions in civil, criminal, and other judicial proceedings.

Forensic psychologists work with many aspects of the criminal justice system, including:

Psychological assessments: Interviewing witnesses, victims, and defendants to assess their mental state

Writing reports: Preparing reports and serving as expert witnesses

Criminal profiling: Helping police identify suspects

Risk assessments: Carrying out risk assessments on offenders, especially those with mental health issues

Treatment plans: Developing treatment plans to help rehabilitate offenders

Advice: Advising on how to reduce stress in prisons, and offering advice to parole boards, mental health tribunals, and courts.
