Abstract

Forensic psychology, at the nexus of psychology and the legal system, is crucial for understanding human behavior within legal contexts. This paper offers an exploration of forensic psychology, encompassing its theoretical roots, practical applications, and societal significance. Drawing from diverse psychological disciplines, including cognitive, social, and clinical psychology, forensic psychology investigates topics such as criminal profiling, eyewitness testimony, mental health evaluations, and jury decision-making. By illuminating the complexities of human behavior, forensic psychology informs legal practices and contributes to the pursuit of justice and fairness within society.
