A New Discipline Emerges
CHAPTER OVERVIEW
ST
??
The academic discipline and profession of Forensic Psychology has evolved gradually
over time to meet the needs of a civil and criminal justice system that becomes more
complex with each passing generation. Each time the U.S. Supreme Court weighs in on a
UV
topic relevant to our system of justice, either new constraints and requirements are
EK
imposed to protect the rights of some, or new latitudes given to protect the methods and
techniques of others. With these decisions, as well as new case law, changes in public
perception, and the ever-shifting conditions of our social milieu, our system of justice is
necessarily reactive to these changes. To remain effective, the practitioners of justice
GE
IA
have become more sophisticated in their methods and techniques, and continually look
for better ways to carry out their tasks. Understanding the principles of psychology, and
the many ways they can be employed in the pursuit of justice, has greatly enhanced their
?_
ability to do so. In this chapter we will look at the historical development of the
ED
discipline, as well as some of the ethical considerations forensic practitioners must take
into account when performing their jobs.

SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO END-OF-CHAPTER ASSIGNMENTS
EK
1. Criminal profiling is an often-used theme in film and television. Discuss reasons
why you think the American public is so fascinated by this investigative
technique.
GE
IA
The answer should include something about the media’s portrayal of profiling,
and how they present it as a highly accurate endeavor with an air of mystery and
?_
magic about it. Americans have always had a strange fascination for serial
ED
killers, and this fascination carries over to profiling because it is typically
presented in the context of this type of crime.
AP
2. Knowledge of psychological principles can be a powerful tool for a police
investigator. Describe some ways in which this tool could be abused, perhaps
M
even to convict an innocent person.
The answer could include manipulating an innocent person to confess to a crime,
PR
?_
or using suggestive techniques to get a witness to identify the wrong suspect. They
might also use manipulative techniques to gain a confession from a guilty suspect
in a way that violates their constitutional rights.
IA
OV
3. In many states, before a sexual predator can be released from prison, a Forensic
evaluation must be completed to determine if that person still poses a danger to
the public. If they are, then they may not be released, even if their full sentence
has been served. Instead, the State may seek a civil commitment order committing
UV
them to a psychiatric facility for further treatment. Do you believe a person should
ever be held past their given sentence? Is this an example of how Forensic
ED
Psychology has become too powerful, or do you believe the evaluation process in
this type of case is appropriate and necessary?
ST
This is an opinion question that can be answered and supported either way.
??
4. Develop a novel example of a potential ethical conflict that may emerge in
Forensic Psychology.
