Myths in Forensic Psychology
In this series, experts working in the forensic arena will talk about myths that frequently appear in the legal arena. For example, experts will talk about the usefulness of the polygraph in court and discuss the role of experts in court and their biases. Others will talk about crime-related amnesia and discuss whether psychopaths really are untreatable.
Knowledge about these myths is vital to people working in forensics, and to all of us. The forensic experts will show that many of these myths originate in situations that occur in our daily lives.
