| What is the first thing you think of when you hear the words forensic psychology? Crime? Murder? The television programme CSI or maybe Crossing Jordan? The evidence speaks for itself ... isn't that what CSI Horatio Caine, head of the Miami-Dade crime lab, says?
Unfortunately, there is a general misunderstanding among people who tend to confuse forensic psychology with forensic science. As a forensic psychologist you won't have to spend time in a lab waiting to see if the blood on a knife matches that of the killer.
Although the two fields are related, one digs deep into the psychology of people while the other concentrates on their fingerprints, DNA samples and autopsy.
