 Here we are going to talk about the specific functions of forensic psychologist. Apart from the responsibilities of the forensic psychologist, as mentioned just in another slide, this is very important to know what could be the proper functions which are going to be performed by the forensic psychologist in different areas. They can work in police psychology, they can work in psychology of crime and delinquency, in victimology and victim services in legal psychology, but these are not the areas which they limit, but they can work beyond these areas. However, these are the main areas where you see that the forensic psychologists are being working. Talking about police psychology, many of you must know about police psychology, because they are very different kind of a profession in which they are working and there are many challenges. So at times, you need a forensic psychologist who helps in developing psychological profiles of serial offenders. Where we have such cases where they commit serious crimes, serial killers or a pattern of crime, their personality profiles should be developed. The purpose of this is that after profiling their personality profile, if a lot of people have a very typical personality profile, then we can probably build a consensus that if there is such a profile, then they can probably tend to commit any such crime in future. If we have criminals who are on the early stage, and are caught by small crimes, and if they are profiling, then it can be assumed that either they would be potential danger to society in future or they commit a small crime and then they are punished and released. They don't need to be watched. So police psychology developed a mechanism in which they collect the personality profiles of their wife. Then teaching and training is the police officer on how to deal with mentally ill individuals. This is another specialized thing which forensic psychologists do. And you see that there are many trainings of police officers in which they are taught the principles of psychology, in which they are told how to deal with people. Apart from this, they are also taught a lot of techniques for their personality grooming and enhancement. After a shooting incident, provide counseling to a police officer. Let's say there is a police officer. He has seen a very brutal kind of crime committed. He has seen some shooting or he has gone through such experiences which is very traumatizing for him. He himself also has a psychological help required to overcome that trauma which he has went through. Then psychology of crime and delinquency is another area where forensic psychologists pay their responsibilities. Conducting research on development of psychopathology. How do psychopathological behavior emerge? What can be the basis of a disease? What can be its theological factors? If we can prove that in a situation, if these are the factors, then that could be a potential risk. These can be determinants to lead towards a serious crime. Research on this is what forensic psychologists do. Then as a research policy advisor, they are concerned with legislators and government agencies to develop new strategies. Similarly, they develop different strategies for research which proves that in the future our society will be better than this and we will be able to get some help. Consulting with the school personnel for identifying youth which can be dangerous for the society. So if we can identify young children with such potential harms, we cannot profile their personality as a school psychologist who is doing abnormal behavior or seeing some warning signs in them. They should be treated from an early age. They should be under surveillance so that they don't face any problem in the society. For assessing the risk among the mentally ill and research to develop a psychological test for this purpose. Simultaneously, forensic psychologists who are coming with mental illness assess their risk as well and for their assessment, they develop different psychological tools because the psychometrics is also a specialized area of psychology where forensic psychologists have expertise and simultaneously, they develop tools on those constructs which can help them in the future Victimology and Victim Services Interviewing the person who is victim and witness of the crime is an important task which is being done by the forensic psychologists providing training to claim service providers on psychological reactions of criminal victimization for example, post-traumatic stress disorder. At times, this is very important that an individual who has faced brutal accidents and trauma can be traumatized by listening to them. As a situation, maybe forensic psychologists could be of help to provide them the counseling services and the individual victimized by this is definitely very important to do regular sessions so that they don't get flashbacks about the incident and they don't develop PTSD which is a long term which can be required for treatment. If initially counseling is given then the symptoms can be reduced before the PTSD is developed. Then providing education to service providers on impact of multiculturalism. Similarly, the impact of multiculturalism on training is also a professional forensic psychologist's job. Then next comes the legal psychology. Conduct evaluation of a child's custody and the child abuse. When the children's custody and the abuse of mal-treatment then studying them, talking to the child and assessing the situation is the responsibility and a very important role of forensic psychologists through community surveys and other research methods assist autonomy in jury selection. So they also help in the process of jury selection to autonomy by conducting research so that they can give some suggestions and then last but not the least to evaluate the defendant's competency to the strand trial. This is also the responsibility of a forensic psychologist.
