Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Forensic psychologists typically focus on areas where psychology intersects with the law, such as assessing an individual's mental state for legal purposes, providing expertise in court cases (like child custody), and evaluating risks of harm. Assessments regarding the effects of absenteeism in the workplace generally fall outside their legal scope and are more aligned with organizational or occupational psychology.  Assessments of factors that influence performance and morale in the workplace are usually carried out by industrial-organizational psychologists. Forensic psychologists are asked to provide assessments for both civil and criminal proceedings.
