There are a number of things one can do as a forensic psychologist. Mainly I would say that forensic psychology is the application of of psychological principals to the study of criminal behavior.
A forensic psychologist does psychological evaluations related to legal matters, which often is presented in court for legal decisions made by a jury and/or a judge.
Forensic psychologists apply their knowledge of the psychology field to the legal and criminal justice systems. Some responsibilities of a forensic psychologist include: investigations, research, consultations, designing and implementing treatment programs, and acting as an expert witness in the courtroom.
