Forensic Psychology: Issues of Morality and Justice
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of the role forensic psychologists play in issues of morality and justice. Notes that in effect forensic psychology is a court of law, a system designed to weigh the mental processes of some against those of the masses. Psychology is really a means of justification, the presentation of evidence or facts which support our views or beliefs. This "evidence" or "fact" varies considerably, however, according to what arena it is presented. A rigid testing and diagnostic regime is therefore critical to justice. The issues of morality and justice are integrally tied to the “court of law” of forensic psychology. It is by gauging one’s morality and concept of justice, in fact, that allows us in many instances to distinguish normal from aberrant. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Imaginary Homicide Crime Scene
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. The call came in to the Arson Investigation Department just after 9 pm Monday evening that: A seventy-year-old woman had been found dead in her home by a suspected explosive device. Upon arrival, the first thing the investigator noted in the overall attempt to recognize, document, collect, preserve and analyze the physical evidence was the distinct post-explosive odor attributed to detonation aftermath. The next door neighbor was immediately at the investigator's side offering details as she knew them, only one of which was of any actual benefit: The fresh, clear print of a man's athletic shoe was identified in the flowerbed just outside the front door. This was a potentially critical piece of information inasmuch as the elderly woman lived alone, had no sons or brothers, and was not seeing anyone. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Issues Concerning Forensic Testing
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. As with any other situation where critical thinking and decision-making must occur simultaneously, allowing interns to perform forensic testing may cause more of a problem than it solves. This is not to say that interns should never be given the opportunity to partake in forensics testing, but rather that a very strict set of guidelines must be in place – along with qualified overseers – in order for preventable mistakes to be avoided. When the issue at hand is murder, however, interns should be like children at an adult function: seen but not heard. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
