    Forensic Psychological Evaluation Paper

    Forensic psychological evaluations seek to measure applicable psychological and legal constructs with the main goal of helping to address legal questions or other unknowns (McLaughlin & Kan, 2014). A forensic psychological evaluation may be performed in order to determine if individuals are dangerous or pose a threat to themselves or others (Cohen, Swerdlik, & Sturman, 2013). This type of evaluation would rely on multiple data sources (e.g. interview data, history data, formal testing, etc.) and would vary depending on the different factors discovered during an assessment. Additionally, evaluation of individuals may offer a predictive element in which the possible risk of further, or future, violence can be understood (McLaughlin & Kan, 2014).…

    Forensic Social Worker Essay

    First and foremost, having three allocated forensic social workers appointed to complete all these tasks can be a bit challenging, but feasible, if we can contract certain tasks out to community collaborators and to similar agencies who believe on what we do or have the same goals/mission. As forensic social workers, advocating for more case managers with the administrative team, upper management, and the board of directors would be a possibility, getting involved with community groups to seek further resources/guidance would also be an addition. Equally important, and as a macro social worker – grant writing, fundraising, and campaigning would be another way to raise the funds needed to change the system and to have a larger positive impact for the prisoners/staff. In addition, networking with the community, churches, and events would allow people interested in volunteering to be a part of the plan.…

    Forensic Psychology Personal Statement

    College and adulthood was always something that I deemed as too far away to even begin thinking about I would always brush off thinking about my future and whenever presented with the question, “what do you want to be when you grow up” was always answered with a shrug of my shoulders. Being presented with this project forced me to realize that being “grown up” is not as far away as I had first realized, and that I need to start to think about my future and what careers I am interested in pursuing. After completing research and pondering over around five careers that could possibly interest me enough to study, I settled on the career of Forensic Psychology. At the start of this journey I remember thinking that I would like to be a detective, but I quickly realized that I was more interested in studying the psychological side of the crimes and drawing my own conclusions based on my knowledge of the human brain.…

As eight year old children they would have had School Monday to Friday, where they would have been overseen by a number of adults and be in the company of numerous children. This means that most days of the week and most hours of the day the victims would have had low risk of exposure to criminal behaviour. There is also little evidence to suggest domestic violence in the homes of the victims, as however, there is only Byer’s fathers transcript in the Case Materials (1993)…
