Forensic psychology is a field that deals with both psychology and the law. Forensic psychologists can perform many roles and it is definitely not "CSI" (Crime Scene Investigation). Forensic psychologists are involved in different aspects of law, e.g criminal (mentally ill offenders), civil (psychological injury and compensation) and family (custody of children of divorce family).

Some of the functions typically performed within forensic psychology include:

- competency evaluations

-sentencing recommendations

-evaluations of the risk of reoffending

-testimony as an expert witness
