Title: Adequate Forensic Psychology Text
Review: I would agree with the previous poster that this test is best intended for an introductory course for Forensic Psychology. Its function is to provide the basics and foundations of the many and varied role Forensic Psychologists face and are utilized in the criminal justice system. It's not overwhelmingly long, and written in a clear, concise manner that the student can find very manageable. This test was used in my Forensic Psychology course at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI in the summer of 2008. It serves its purpose for allowing psychology and other related social science background to see if the forensic realm of psychology is a field that they would find interesting to pursue. The authors give lots of real life examples of each subject in the chapters, as well as data to support their arguments.
