Assignment 1: Fieldwork Observation Task
Fieldwork Observation: Overview
In this course, you will experience a fieldwork placement
designed to introduce you to professionals and to specialized
practices in the field of forensic psychology. This assignment
will help you learn how to apply the knowledge learned in this
course in the real world as well as develop and polish your
networking skills.
In Module 1, you will investigate and develop a list of potential
fieldwork locations for observing and talking with forensic
psychology professionals. Develop a list of at least three
potential placements. There is a wide range of professionals
who work within the legal and correctional systems. Your
interaction with these professionals can be face-to-face, as with
a tour of a facility or an interview, or it can occur over the
phone when face-to-face meetings are not practical.
You have three fieldwork-related assignments in this course.
To prepare for your fieldwork, perform the following tasks:
· Develop a plan in Module 2 in which you identify options and
develop time lines for the fieldwork you will complete
throughout the course.
· Document plans for specific days and times for the
observation and conversation scheduled for fieldworks to be

2. conducted.
· Actively plan, reconfirm, and conduct fieldwork activities;
however, the actual scheduling of these activities may be
staggered to accommodate fieldwork practitioner's schedules.
· Develop alternate plans in the event one or more scheduled
activities might be cancelled.
Your fieldwork observation should include the following:
· Name of the professional
· Affiliation of the professional
· Degrees and licensure
· Types of training in forensic psychology (if applicable)
· Primary job responsibilities
· Client population served
· Any ethical conflicts the professional routinely encounters
· Recommendations to a graduate student in forensic psychology
· Other observations as deemed appropriate
· Reflection on what you learned from the fieldwork experience
By Module 2, you should have a schedule for conducting your
fieldwork assignment so that you can submit a fieldwork plan in
M2 Assignment 1. You will report on the fieldwork experience
in M3 Assignment 2 RA 1.
It is crucial to contact individuals this week in order to arrange
a time to meet or converse with them as many of them may have
busy schedules and will need advance notice.
Identify Potential Fieldwork Locations
In this module, you will investigate and identify options for
observing and discussing with professionals on various aspects
of forensic psychology at work in the legal system. The
fieldwork observation can occur at a variety of facilities and
with a range of professionals, including, but not limited to, the
following:
· Forensic psychology professionals in private practice
· Forensic psychology professionals working in a correctional
setting
· Mental health professionals in facilities providing forensic
services such as community-based treatment for offenders or

3. crisis centers accepting involuntarily admitted patients
· Attorneys who work with forensic psychology professionals as
in family law, personal injury for psychological damages, or
with issues of competency and criminal responsibility
· Police departments
Note: Some police departments may only use psychology
professionals on a consulting basis. Therefore, it would be
helpful to inquire at the local police agency about whether it has
a psychology professional among the staff or whether it uses
one as a consultant for preemployment evaluations. You may
also want to speak with polygraph administrators who assess
offenders.
· Mental health professionals at juvenile detention centers and
mental health professionals who provide services to victims of
abuse and sexual assault in public and private agencies
· Polygraph administrators who assess offenders
· Mental health professionals who work with children and
adolescents involved in the legal system, such as juvenile courts
Tasks:
In a minimum of 250 words, respond to the following:
· Develop a list of three potential fieldwork locations.
· Describe why each might be of interest and value. Also,
include any additional information gathered about each
location.
All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules
for attributing sources.

Assignment 2: Individual Research Task
Individual Research: Overview
As a forensic psychology professional, you need to critically
analyze statutory and case laws related to psycholegal issues
and correctly apply the knowledge from your analysis in your
work. The individual research course projects will provide you
with the opportunity to analyze the landmark cases related to
psycholegal issues.

4. In Module 1, identify at least one landmark legal case or court
decision for each of these important psycholegal areas: CST,
criminal responsibility (MSO), the right to mental health
treatment, the right to refuse psychiatric treatment, coercion to
mental health treatment, and participation in treatment and civil
commitment of sex offenders.
Critically analyze the essence of the selected cases.
You may be asking what it means to discuss the "essence" of a
court decision. The essence of a court decision involves two
things: (1) the issue under dispute and (2) how the court decided
that issue. You can usually summarize this information in one
or two paragraphs. Remember that you need to identify the final
decision by the highest court. Landmark cases are almost always
the cases that have been appealed to higher courts for a ruling
on an issue of law.
Looking Ahead
Through Modules 2 and 3, you should continue to conduct
research on professional literature to find additional information
regarding the selected cases to create a case report. Note that
professional literature may include the Argosy University online
library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal
articles, and websites created by professional organizations,
agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, and .gov).
You may refer to the following links for additional information:
· Landmark Cases of the US Supreme Court
· Supreme Court of the U.S.
· Google
· US Supreme Court Center
In M4 Assignment 2, you will create and submit a case report
for each case related to competency and criminal responsibility
right to treatment, right to refuse treatment, coercion, and
participation in treatment and civil commitment of sex
offenders. You are highly encouraged to work on these case
reports on a weekly basis and not wait until Module 4 to
complete. Write each case report in 2–3 paragraphs, providing
your analysis and interpretation of the case. In addition, analyze

5. the roles and responsibilities of a forensic psychology
professional in the circumstances presented in each case.
Click here to view a sample case report, which you will use as a
template in your M4 Assignment 2 to write your case reports.
Note: Remember that you do not need to use the sample report
in this assignment. You only need to write about the essence of
the case. You will utilize the sample case format in Module 4.
Landmark Case Selection
In this assignment, you will research specific cases, describe the
essence of each case, and critically analyze how each relates to
the practice of forensic psychology.
Click here to view a list of landmark cases.
Tasks:
· Select one case for each of the following six legal areas:
· CST
· Criminal responsibility (MSO)
· Right to receive mental health treatment
· Right to refuse psychiatric treatment
· Coercion to mental health treatment
· Participation in treatment and civil commitment of sex
offenders
Conduct individual research from professional literature to
critically analyze the essence of the selected cases in forensic
psychology. Note that professional literature may include the
Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks,
peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by
professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org,
and .gov). Present your choices, as well as your critical analysis
of the essence of each case, in 2- to 3-paragraphs in a Microsoft
Word document.
All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules
for attributing sources.
