Special Interest in Forensic Psychology

Calvin has a special interest in forensic psychology, having gained experience in forensic evaluations, psychological and risk assessments, and psychotherapy.

Forensic psychology is the application of psychological theory and practice within the legal and criminal justice system. It involves understanding the psychological aspects of legal processes, such as assessing the mental state of individuals involved in criminal cases, working with victims and offenders, and providing expert testimony in court.

Forensic psychologists evaluate risk, support rehabilitation, conduct psychological assessments, and advise legal professionals on matters related to mental health.

Forensic psychology plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between psychology and the law, ensuring that psychological insights are used to support fair and informed decision-making in legal contexts.
