Forensic Psychology in India – where are we and where are we going
Journal Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Before we trace the legal footprints of Forensic Psychology in India, it is imperative to understand the justice system and what part of the puzzle of the judicial system does forensic psychology fit. When a crime has been committed the point of contact is the police who eventually collect evidence from the scene of the crime and deliver it to the Forensic science laboratories. Once the laboratories complete their scientific assessment it is sent to the court of law to help in deducing who, when, where, what, why and how. Forensic Psychology tends to play a very important role especially rendering answers to – why? – The motive.
