Forensic psychology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Forensic psychology can be broken down into 3 areas:

1. Applying psychological techniques to help in the prosecution of criminals.
2. The rehabilitation of criminals once in the prison system.
3. Investigative Psychology (although really a seperate science now), which specialises in the finding and subsequent arrest of criminals. There are, to my knowledge, only 2 courses in the world that teach MSc Investigative Psychology (IP). One is at Quantico, taught by the FBI to its agents, whilst the other is based at Liverpool Univeristy, England, taught by the "founder" of the science, Prof. David Canter.
