Avigail B. Not too much. Forensic psychology deals with the aftermath of a crime, whereas Criminal Psychology can work with law enforcement to create a profile based on common psychological traits, as well as help establish motive.
I hope to be one of those people. The ones who help to make the world safer. I am starting uni, in Sept/Oct, of this year. This is exactly what I want to do. Wishing you all the best.
This is definitely what I want to do. I've wanted to help humanity but didn't know which career to pursue. This video cleared up what I'm going to choose. Thank you!! :)
It's a loooooooong road, Maria. I am currently finishing my dissertation for my PhD, which is how far you have to go before you perform this type of work. Also, working for the courts does not really pay well. I will speak from personal experience, though, you will get to spend time with some pretty interesting folks!
Oh, also; per you picture - you are in CA? Frisco/Palo Alto/Bay Area? My committee chair, one of the most famous and influential modern forensic psychologists is out there.
Very well said. This video helped me too. I start uni this year. I agree with all you say. I hope you managed to fulfil you ambitions. Wishing you well for you future.
There was a lot of emotion in his voice, especially near the end. Nice to see. Not sure he'll ever see any of these comments but thank you :) Appreciate this video, this is certainly an area I'm looking at exploring more after my degree.
I felt the same, as if he was tearing up, at the end of the video. As if he was moved, by helping the victims, get closure. Such a worthwhile profession. I am wondering, what you decided, to go on to do. Wishing you all the best.
I hope many people would pursue this career but I think some don’t tolerate stress so they just stop in the middle of all these problems. Maybe some of them get in jail or suffer lack of sleep because of overthinking. I can’t imagine but thank you for them. Thank you for enduring a lot of pain and sacrificing that much of your time in education, training, dealing with crazy people in order to contribute to the truth.
Interesting video. I want to become a forensic psychologist too, but I live in Germany. It's a bit different here. For example forensic psychologists have two main options where they can work... At the court, writing reports about the offender's condition during his act is one of them. Or you work in a jail, talk to criminals and try to get them less aggressive, so that they won't be dangerous for the society when they leave the prison one day. It's called ''resocializing people''. Maybe it's a difficulty and onerous job, but somebody has to take care of these ''monsters''. They often had a bad childhood and you'll never know what could have been, if a murderer for example lived in a family without drunken parents and violence each day.
.. But what is it like if you can't identify criminals Sometimes? You cannot be 100% right all the time. What pressure. I really love psychology but I dont trust myself enough to actually deal with the situation.
true , I understand and agree with you eyt at the same time I think that you can gain some trust "in yourself" as you get more experience, your intuition will sharpen and you would be more discerning...Just a thought ( :
Passion is a major part of all of this. You have passion and an interest. College/University, would help you with all the confidence you need. I bet you would make a wonderful, forensic psychologist. Follow your dreams...always.
My brother just asked me what type of psychology I want to purse and now that I’m applying for my master Forensic Psychology is what I’m gonna pursue , this video helped me decide 👏🏼
Wow very moving video, I'm majoring in psychology and yet haven't decided what area what I want to choose. I just know I want help people and make this system that we live in easier for everyone.
Very true. This is exactly what I will be doing. I start uni in sept. I have a passion for this. Though, I have to agree, not everyone can do this job. I pray I can. I feel that I can. Love to you from England.
i will be going to high school soon and i will be in a law academy there aren’t a lot of people who do this in queens i think i found what i want to do ❤️
I took Psychology while I was on College. however it was undergraduate courses. never achieve my degree, but I learned a lot and helps me with my job as BPO.
I am starting a master clinical psych and counseling with a minor in forensic studies. I am excited to see how that aligns to this field, if it does at all.
Thank you so much for this video. Much appreciated. I will be starting uni, in September of this year. This video, has helped me, to decide, that I have made the right decision. Very well explained. A great help.
Wow! if it wasn't for you guys helping the Justice system those predators would still be committing horrible crimes. I didn't know there was forensic psychology. I think I have learnt something today.😊
I'm wondering if there's a forensic psychology course or major in the philippines. I'm not entirely sure about that but the sure thing is that this is what I want to be. This is the future I see myself in
i would love to study forensic psychology but i don't think i will be able to stand court rooms because i cant imagine trying to defend myself on the spot like that. I really thought that this career path will be it but i dont think i can do it
Don’t doubt yourself. I know this comment is a little late, but if you truly find yourself to be passionate for this career, don’t let that fear of others trying to apprehend or belittle you crush what you dream of doing in your future. I wish you all the best, and as always, follow your dreams!
Criminal Profiling is a term used almost entirely for FBI agents. Profiling may help in law enforcement, but it is a tool for furthering investigation, and should never be used to accuse someone of a crime. Took a class on it, and while it can be used by Forensic psychologists, it is essentially not something to be relied on. Most forensic psychologists are expert testimony. They also help with examining whether or not someone is fit for trial.
Thats what i'm trying to go to school for too. This is the easier part because your dealing with the research as opposed to a science lab were you have to have a strong stomach. I can deal with people trying to discredit me I've been a cashier all my life lol. I'd just show up to court once or twice a week, make a good chunk of change, and leave. Thats why i'd probably be hated, but on my end its actually a pretty fun field to study. That plus working in a drug store, would make people take me more seriously verses just cashiering all my life.
if I want to study forensic psychology but the colleges in my area don’t offer it as a major or even as a undergrad program would it be smart to just major in psychology and minor in criminal justice then transfer to a grad program that offers FP once i’m a graduate student? idk if I would benefit from being in a criminal justice class but I really don’t know what i’m doing LOL ( im a senior btw so I need to really figure my life out )
I'm with ya. I'm in-between FP or Clinical mental health counseling. I'm interested in both, which are two different areas in psych. Im a senior as well. I just want to be happy and benefit from the career path I choose. You should look at the different Graduate programs your school offers and see what where you might wanna go. That's what I did. Hope this helps;)
I did my undergrad in psychology and then my masters in Forensic Psychology online at Walden University as it isn't offered in my country. In my undergrad I did a course in FP and my thesis in Self-Esteem and Criminal Behaviour. Hope this helps you with your decision.
guys how can i be a forensic psychologist in canada if i finish a two years program in criminal and social justice i saw that career opportunities are being forensic psychologist but i have no idea how to be one, do i take masters?
Hello! I'm extremely interested in pursuing a career in forensic psychology and/or criminology. What should I do in the future in terms of classes and jobs/internships
Hey, Emilee, I'm a PhD Candidate (Forensic Psych, currently writing my dissertation). Focus on your humanities as an undergrad. Some schools have undergrad degrees (BS) in Forensic Psych. However, as a grad student, it may behoove you to enter an APA accredited Clinical Psych program so that you may also have licensure! If you have any questions, just drop a PM.
Ive never knowen what ive wanted to do but ive always been interested in stuff like this and now im sure i wanna do this, or crimimal justice but theirs not alot of jobs for that
What if that person had no control over the crime that they committed? What if that person had a mental disorder and they were deprived of treatment that they required, resulting in crime? What about homicidalsleepwalking? There are many explanations and factors as to why people commit crime "helping", these people is what could have prevented these crimes in the first place.
Chase Kyō There is no cure for Psychopathy. These people will never have remorse for what they've done/did. Granted there are criminals who can reform in which those people shouldn't go to prison but rather an institution to get help. I wanted to be a forensic psychologist until I realized I'd be helping people get away with their crimes.
That's not necessarily true. In American states that have the death penalty, a similar amount of murder occurs than in states that don't have the death penalty.
Liam C Although, in the UK with no death penalty... there are many murders each week. Expect yourself to see a murder outside your house. I barley want to leave the house anymore. I've had a murder in an ally way DIRECTLY opposite my home and crimes taken place on my roads. As well as close friends living in different areas, same thing goes for them.
Shawn Afshar Anything above an Associates will get you into the field. A Bachelor's will get you an assistant position, A Master's will get you a position working face to face with people and in the court system and a Doctorate will get you a position as a full fledged Criminal Psychologist. I strongly recommend at least a Master;s to make any good amount of money.
Where I live in California they don't offer a " forsenic psychology " when you go for a psyd or a phd you can specialize but for a BA I'm assuming psychology or any other social science major
Where all here because we want to pursue this career and i think i just found my future

This was 2 years ago and I really what to know what ended up happening😂

Update?

You can tell he's very committed and passionate about what he does.
Agreed

I'm interested in pursuing a career in criminal psychology, I loved your video!!!
Me too! This video is so informative
yeah criminal psychology is different to forensic haha
Same! Sadly there’s not as much specifically on criminal psychology 😭
Me too!

I will be there too, one day. Good for you...
Love to you from England.
I can sense he was tearing up near the end, I'd enjoy this job if you weren't required to attend court sessions and have to defend yourself like that.
Aguafria That's exactly what I thought. I don't know what id do, defending myself on the spot.
He did say there’s a research aspect
Aguafria Exactly
I felt the same, as if he was tearing up, at the end of the video. As if he was moved, by helping the victims, get closure. Such a worthwhile profession. I am wondering, what you decided, to go on to do. Wishing you all the best.
Nathan W. Yes I would want to do that rather than being in court
Wow I can tell he has indeed seen a lot. I’m a psychology undergraduate student, and I think I’d venture in forensic psychology.
This is what I'm going to school for :)

Logic is key in this area, patterns, genetics, values, and distinguishing genuine remorseful to a deliberate offender.
When he starts tearing up a bit at the end tho :(
I took a gap year. I don't know if a want to be a forensic psychologist or psychiatrist:/

is forensic psychology same as criminal profiling?
Criminal Profiling is part of Forensic Psychology

Took a class on it, and while it can be used by Forensic psychologists, it is essentially not something to be relied on. Most forensic psychologists are expert testimony. They also help with examining whether or not someone is fit for trial.
I have long been fascinated by profiling, and now it seems I can’t live happily without being involved in it. Every crime is a puzzle, isn’t it?
this is gonna be my career one day :')
Mine toooo
Who is the gentleman talking?
I can’t wait to study this 😅
I feel this would be a natural career for me but I'm hesitant. Plus I'm looking for specific places to work.
I want to do this job but I picked the wrong course in august so idk

Go online!
That sexual sadist case happened where i live
Are there links for the trial videos that were featured in this?
What do you actually have to major in during your undergraduate years to become a forensic psychologist?
Psychology is usually your major with criminal justice or some form of legal studies as your minor.

What about homicidalsleepwalking? There are many explanations and factors as to why people commit crime "helping", these people is what could have prevented these crimes in the first place.
