“…Psychologists have a long tradition of providing services to the legal system (see Bartol & Bartol, 2006, and Otto & Heilbrun, 2002, for comprehensive summaries). Initial interaction between psychologists and the legal system, beginning in the early 1900s, consisted of the provision of clinical services to incarcerated adult offenders and juvenile offenders in detention centers (Otto & Heilbrun, 2002).…”

“…Initial interaction between psychologists and the legal system, beginning in the early 1900s, consisted of the provision of clinical services to incarcerated adult offenders and juvenile offenders in detention centers (Otto & Heilbrun, 2002). Other early activities of psychologists providing services to criminal justice and the legal system included psychological fitness testing of law enforcement personnel and the pretrial evaluation of criminal offenders (Bartol & Bartol, 2006). These early efforts helped to cement the relationship between psychologists and the legal system, and the use of psychologists for evaluating law enforcement personnel, criminal offenders, and civil litigants has now become commonplace (Melton, Petrila, Poythress, & Slobogin, 2007).…”

“…This more expansive definition of forensic psychology reflects the widely varying roles that can be assumed by forensic professionals in terms of both clinical practice and research. This definition encompasses the clinically based activities of forensic psychologists, including policy psychology (i.e., application of clinical skills to law enforcement and public safety), correctional psychology (i.e., provision of assessment and treatment services in correctional settings), and forensic mental health assessment (i.e., assessment of criminal offenders and civil litigants to assist courts in answering legal questions) (Bartol & Bartol, 2006), while also recognizing that nonclinical/research psychologists are engaging in forensic psychology research if their research interfaces with some aspect of the legal system.…”

“…For example, Grisso (1987) defined a forensic psychologist as “any psychologist, experimental or clinical, who specializes in producing or communicating psychological research or assessment information intended for application to legal issues” (p. 831). Bartol and Bartol (2006) offered a similarly broad definition when they defined forensic psychology as “both (1) the research endeavor that examines aspects of human behavior directly related to the legal process… and (2) the professional practice of psychology within or in consultation with a legal system that embraces both civil and criminal law and the numerous areas where they intersect” (pp. 3–4).…”

The field of forensic psychology has experienced remarkable growth over the past three decades. Perhaps the best evidence of this growth is the number of forensic psychology training programs currently enrolling students. Those interested in forensic psychology can choose from several types of programs aimed at different educational outcomes. In addition, opportunities for postdoctoral fellowships, continuing education, and respecialization have become increasingly more available. Despite the increased availability of forensic psychology training programs, there is little consensus regarding the core substantive components of these programs. This article will summarize the existing educational and training models in forensic psychology programs and then identify a core set of competencies that should be considered for inclusion in doctoral-level forensic psychology training curricula to adequately prepare students for the increasingly varied roles assumed by forensic psychologists.

“…‘Criminal profiling’ refers to the process of identifying personality traits, behavioral tendencies and demographic variables of an offender based on characteristics of the crime. [ 5 ] Frequently this is based on database collected on previous offenders who have committed similar offences. Bartol et al [ 3 ] contend that this is 95% an art based on speculation and only 5% science.…”

This article deals with the kind of psychology suggested for jurists that was thought to be necessary training for their work. An analysis of the content of two textbooks by Otto Lipmann and Karl Marbe reveals that such teaching activity involves two different levels of historical analysis. On the one hand, it relates to experimental research done by psychologists on law-related issues; on the other, it concerns the professional experience psychologists accumulated by acting as expert witnesses in court. The paper investigates how psychologists presented psychology to jurists, which methods and theories they suggested as being essential for juristic training and professional performance, and whether jurists appreciated these materials and efforts. These inquiries are embedded in the debate on the history of criminal psychology, taking into account the European, particularly the German, context. The author shows how specific historical developments led to an increased exchange between experimental psychology and criminal law during the first decades of the 20th century.
