What is forensic psychology?

Forensic Psychology is devoted to psychological aspects of legal processes in courts. The term is also often used to refer to investigative and criminological psychology. The word “forensic” means legal; any thing that is pertinent to law comes into the area of forensic psychology. The range of application of forensic psychology is not merely limited to the criminals, it involves all matters that are relevant to our legal and civil systems like courts, police, lawyers, crime investigations, criminal behaviours, police recruitments, trainings and adjustment e.t.c.
