What is forensic psychology?
There is debate about the proper use of the term “forensic psychology.” Some people use a very broad definition, to refer to any application of psychological principles and methods to any area of the legal system. Others use the term to refer only to the application of clinical psychological techniques to the legal system. Some forensic psychologists are quite specialized, and are more properly called police psychologists (if they limit their practice to working with law enforcement agencies and officers) or correctional psychologists (if they limit their practice to working with correctional facilities, staff, and/or inmates).
