Forensic psychology

Forensic psychology is like being a detective, but instead of solving crimes, they help figure out why people do bad things. Just like a doctor helps people who are sick, a forensic psychologist helps people who have done bad things understand why they did it.

Forensic psychologists do this by studying lots of different things about a person. They talk to the person to find out how they're feeling, what they were thinking at the time they did something bad, and anything that might have influenced them to act that way. They also look at things like their past experiences, their mental health, and whether they were under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Sometimes, forensic psychologists work with lawyers and judges to help decide whether a person should be punished for their actions or if they need help getting better. They might even go to court to explain their findings and answer questions.

Overall, forensic psychology is all about understanding why people do bad things and using that knowledge to help them get better and prevent future crimes from happening.
