A Forensic Psychology Expert serves as an expert witness in legal cases, providing specialised psychological evaluations and expert witness reports that help inform the court on matters related to criminal and civil law. As an expert witness, they assess the mental state, cognitive functioning, and psychological history of individuals involved in legal proceedings, including defendants, victims, and witnesses. Their expert reports may address issues such as competency to stand trial, criminal responsibility, risk of reoffending, and the psychological impact of criminal behaviour or trauma. These evaluations are essential in cases like criminal trials, custody disputes, personal injury claims, and civil cases, where psychological factors play a crucial role in the outcome. By offering objective, evidence-based insights, they assist the court in making well-informed decisions that consider the mental health aspects of the case.
