The Future of Forensic Psychology

The Future of Forensic Psychology

As scholars, practitioners and leaders in the areas of psychology and criminal justice, it is important to not only understand the past as it applies to the present, but to also extrapolate historical and current information to hypothesize the future impacts and areas necessitating additional research. Heilbrun & Brooks (Links to an external site.) (2010) and Otto & Heilbrun (Links to an external site.) (2002) suggest areas where psychological profiling could be expanded, areas of integration with other fields and study, and evaluate the impact of technology on psychological profiling. Discuss where you believe the future of psychological profiling is heading, whether it is appropriate, and what suggestions you have regarding criminal psychological profiling.
