  1. Hey guys, so today I'll be talking about forensic psychology
  2. and forensics itself is more of in the legal system.
  3. You can be working with police officers, people um in
  4. core or things just like that kind of depends on
  5. where you're specialized in what you're really doing.
  6. But jane Tyler Ward states the practice of forensic psychology
  7. and perhaps the most frequent duty of forensic psychologist is
  8. the psychological assessment of individuals who are involved in one
  9. way or another with the legal system.
  10. So a lot of what they're doing is with the
  11. legal system.
  12. It's a lot of clinical work.
  13. It's a newer course to psychology or newer field of
  14. psychology. So you might be doing a lot of assessment
  15. treatments and evaluations.
  16. There's also a lot of research involved or research involved.
  17. Um Some of the things you could be possibly doing
  18. are working with schools, kids in schools, you know, if
  19. there's a threat going around like they might bring in
  20. a forensic psychologist to help that kid make sure everybody's
  21. safe there, they might work with jail or the juvenile
  22. system, with people in there, you know the law enforcement
  23. and they're making sure that they're keeping them safe, making
  24. sure that things are going well.
  25. Um counseling programs, they make make sure that the people
  26. that are in jail that are going to those programs,
  27. making sure those programs are good, making sure that they're
  28. safe, making sure that they're actually helpful, you know, and
  29. they're also looking at people who are going into law
  30. enforcement, making sure that they're right for the job, Next
  31. we are going into education.
  32. So you know, who doesn't love education?
  33. Uh just kidding us, leave it there.
  34. So the type of degrees that one may go into
  35. our psychology, criminal justice, criminology and forensic psychology.
  36. How far they go in there, um application or how
  37. far they go in their education is what I'm trying
  38. to say kind of is up to them.
  39. But most places require masters um you can still work
  40. with the bachelors but masters is most of the minimum
  41. requirement most of the time.
  42. You can also get a doctorate.
  43. But making sure when you're going into a program, a
  44. lot of people do not accept a forensics degree.
  45. Should I say if you don't have it under a
  46. P. A.
  47. Which is american psychological association um Just because the A.
  48. P. A.
  49. Has certified them or that college and they're teaching so
  50. they know it's right.
  51. Um 2000 hours of supervised work is required before you
  52. grab before you get a job.
  53. So after you get a doctorate, making sure you have
  54. those 2000 hours of experience is crucial and needed.
  55. Um As they like um internships, internships and practical terms
  56. are ways that you can do this.
  57. Those are offered all throughout your college.
  58. So it's not really hard when you're finding a job
  59. continuation of education might be required in some cases if
  60. you work more in the clinical side of it, because
  61. of the fact of more research is being done and
  62. you're gonna need more information as you're going further into
  63. the job, salaries are important.
  64. Um five figure to six figures are kind of what's
  65. more accepted in the forensics job depending on where you
  66. work. Like management pays higher.
  67. The federal government kind of depends on where you're working,
  68. but still six figures, you know what I mean?
  69. You know what I mean, yep.
  70. So now we're gonna go on to some personal skills.
  71. So there's some basic skills and hard skills, um some
  72. basic skills or clinical thinking, compassion, communication and objective.
  73. This objective.
  74. This is important because you don't want to tell your
  75. patient, your client or the person that you're working with,
  76. who might be in jail that it's okay that you're
  77. killing people because I'm sorry, but I don't think it's
  78. ok that you're killing people and I don't think the
  79. law is going to think that's okay that you're killing
  80. people, making sure that you're being compassionate and talking with
  81. them because nobody else is up to a boring person
  82. ever. And then you're like just thinking critically in those
  83. situations because you are going to have to analyze them
  84. and evaluate how they're acting.
  85. So onto the hard skills active listening can be very
  86. hard. I'm I know because I'm babbling right now, but
  87. I'm very sorry, I'm trying to this.
  88. Um data analysis is also important and counseling techniques because
  89. if you're talking to somebody and they don't really know
  90. how to talk, you're like why am I here?
  91. And you know, it's like a psychology world.
  92. Um and clinical research is very important because there's always
  93. new findings coming out.
  94. So um some research I did was or I found
  95. not that I did was on psychopaths and fear.
  96. So psychopaths don't really express emotion and they're just kind
  97. of like crazy out killing people a lot of that,
  98. not really seeing what's wrong with it.
  99. But this research shows that there are a little bit
  100. of fear that is still in psychopaths.
  101. So there's conscious and automatic fear conscious beer can be
  102. just the recognition of the fact that they committed a
  103. crime basically and that it is morally wrong and that
  104. it causes them to be a little bit scared of
  105. the outcome of their killing.
  106. Um Some automatic can be internal or external.
  107. Some internal some heart rate, heart rate raises, you know,
  108. like they do the lie detector test or yeah, stuff
  109. like that.
  110. Um some external could be some expression of fight or
  111. flight. You know, you're reacting to yourself or you're not,
  112. you're just kind of sterile and you're kind of stagnant
  113. to the fact that you're a killer or things like
  114. that. Um Next we're going to go into the biblical
  115. perspective. Um I like these three verses that I chose
  116. because they all talk about being righteous and they all
  117. talk about also being justice and doing justice through your
  118. righteousness. So some 37-27-29 says turn away from evil and
  119. do good.
  120. So shall you dwell forever?
  121. For the Lord loves justice.
  122. He will not forsake his saints.
  123. They are preserved forever.
  124. But the Children of the Wicked shall be cut off.
  125. The righteous, shall inherit the land and dwell upon it
  126. forever. I love that because it just talks about how
  127. God loves justice.
  128. We should show justice and God will not forsake us
  129. as we are displaying him in these hard moments and
  130. showing righteousness through these hard moments of if you're working
  131. in the the courtroom and you're sitting in front of
  132. a person who is a psychopath, as we kind of
  133. just talked about being able to just keep your cool
  134. knowing that you still have to punish them even though
  135. they don't really know what they're doing.
  136. But showing God's love through that can be very hard.
  137. So, the job of forensic psychology can be very brutal
  138. and sometimes also very fun in my opinion, but not
  139. something I feel like I should pursue.
  140. But whatever.
  141. Here's my references, um feel free to look them up
  142. with some cool pictures because who doesn't love pictures.
  143. All right guys, Thanks for listening.
  144. And I hope you learn some more about forensic psychology.
