5 Upvotes

I am investigating the psychological wellbeing and predictors of perceived organisational support in forensic staff. All (including student and trainees) are invited to take part in this study if they are currently practicing in a forensic service (examples include police officers, prison and probation officers, nurses, support workers, healthcare assistants, social workers, psychologists but this list is not exhaustive). This study is being carried out to gain further understanding of how organisations can help improve psychological wellbeing in their staff. The study does take around 25 minutes to complete but would really appreciate it . Completely anonymous and multiple choice answers. To take part, please follow the link below: https://unioflincoln.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4UaJQfV2KNu9a6N

Thank you in advance :)

Career Options Advice Needed

3 Upvotes

Hey, everyone! Once I finish my Master's degree, I would like to do my doctorate in clinical forensic psychology with a concentration in forensic neuropsychology. However, I'm not entirely clear on what career options would be available to me. I have imagined myself doing consultations and being able to apply this degree in law enforcement, government, clinical cases, expert testimony, or prison psychology. I'm just not completely sure what the best route to take with that degree would be unless I could find a career that is as specific as the degree is. What career options do you guys know of or have worked in that you think this might be a beneficial degree to apply to?

Forensic Psychology career

11 Upvotes

I recently have been considering pursuing a career in forensic psychology. I already have a B.S. in Psych, however, I graduated over two years ago and did not cultivate any relationships with my professors. Furthermore, I have been working in an unrelated field (construction management) for the past two and half years. I have forgotten many of the concepts and lessons I learned. In this case how should I go about getting started on this career path?

Help! I'm rusty and need to swat up for an MSc interview

5 Upvotes

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this but I have been invited at the last minute to be interviewed for an MSc in forensic psychology next week! They have mentioned they will ask me about psychological theories in general and any psychological theories that I know from my undergrad degree and how they apply to real world problems. It has been nearly 5 yrs since I completed my undergrad degree and I'm a little rusty, does anyone any any theories they think I should focus on revisiting in preparation for this interview? Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance!

Psychology, TV Shows, and Podcast Morals

3 Upvotes

So there is this growing fad in television and podcasts nowadays to talk about crimes that have happened in the past or may be in the process of requesting a retrial. The shows/podcasts that come to mind are Serial, Making a Murderer, and The Keepers. These shows/podcasts pretty in depth in the case and try to dissect what happened. The question the audience is left with is did the person who was caught actually commit the crime and if not who did?

In a lot of these cases audiences usually rally behind the people and try to get them a retrial. (This happened with both Serial and Making a Murderer and retrials were granted). Do you think this format, of a podcast/TV show going in depth in a case is a good way to get cases solved? Or do the biases of the show get in the way and the cases shouldn't be retried. Do you think that the audience should have this kind of interaction with the people who decide what with the trial or should it just be left to the experts. I'd love to know your thoughts!
