Forensic Legal Issues in the United Kingdom
[ send me this essay ]
New scientific discoveries pose a problem for the legal system, and the legal system in the United Kingdom has so far failed to adequately confront the issues. One example is the Shipman, case in which the serial killer Dr. Harold Shipman killed over 200 people, but was only tried for the deaths of 15 because the evidence did not exist at the local level. Not only did the evidence not exist for the court trial, but the deaths of hundreds of people did not signify a problem to local coroners nor to local police forces that there was a serial killer in their midst. This was signified by the fact that only 58 total death certificates were ever filled out for the total number of Shipman’s victims. Also reviewed in this 6 page paper is the Mary and Jodie conjoiend twins legal case. Bibliography lists 4 sources. jvUKfors.rtf

Forensic Psychology
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The field of psychology is comprised of many subcategories in order to address various and distinct aspects in a more appropriate way. Forensic psychology is somewhat different from other sectors of the field by virtue of its intrinsic connection to the criminal justice system, an alliance that provides for better understanding of "the vast psychological perspectives" (Diviny et al, 2000) inherent to the law. More than that, however, is the fact that forensic psychology deals in myriad aspects of the legal component, not the least of which include helping to set policy and create laws, determining offender competency, establishing a defendant's mental condition at the time when the crime was committed, criminal profiling, attorney consultation for jury selection, treating mentally unstable offenders, acting as expert witness in court and "analyzing a criminal's mind and intent" (Diviny et al, 2000). Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Forensic Psychology: Issues of Morality and Justice
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page overview of the role forensic psychologists play in issues of morality and justice. Notes that in effect forensic psychology is a court of law, a system designed to weigh the mental processes of some against those of the masses. Psychology is really a means of justification, the presentation of evidence or facts which support our views or beliefs. This "evidence" or "fact" varies considerably, however, according to what arena it is presented. A rigid testing and diagnostic regime is therefore critical to justice. The issues of morality and justice are integrally tied to the “court of law” of forensic psychology. It is by gauging one’s morality and concept of justice, in fact, that allows us in many instances to distinguish normal from aberrant. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
