SOCIAL CHANGE AND FUTURE
DIRECTIONS OF FORENSIC
PSYCHOLOGY
Forensic psychology as a practice and a field of study is in its infancy. How is it
currently evolving? What lies on the horizon and beyond? Diverse paths exist for
forensic psychology professionals, such as research, law enforcement, trial
consultation, forensic evaluation and expert testimony, and correctional
psychology. Perhaps another path may involve the establishment of professional
standards and educational requirements for various roles or functions. Other paths
may enable professionals to influence public policy standards and advocate for
social change by admitting scientific evidence or calling attention to ethical issues
around jury selection.
For this Discussion, you examine the evolution of the field of forensic psychology.
You also reflect on social change and possible directions the field may take in the
future.

SOCIAL CHANGE AND FUTURE
DIRECTIONS OF FORENSIC
PSYCHOLOGY
Forensic psychology as a practice and a field of study is in its infancy. How is it
currently evolving? What lies on the horizon and beyond? Diverse paths exist for
forensic psychology professionals, such as research, law enforcement, trial
consultation, forensic evaluation and expert testimony, and correctional
psychology. Perhaps another path may involve the establishment of professional
standards and educational requirements for various roles or functions. Other paths
may enable professionals to influence public policy standards and advocate for
social change by admitting scientific evidence or calling attention to ethical issues
around jury selection.
For this Discussion, you examine the evolution of the field of forensic psychology.
You also reflect on social change and possible directions the field may take in the
future.
To prepare for this Discussion:
