You are a forensic psychologist working with Forensic
Consultants, Inc. An attorney is using your services as a
consultant in a case. During a meeting with the attorney, the
attorney tells you that the client, while undergoing police
interrogation, confessed to murder. When the attorney asked
the client, the client reported to being not guilty.
As you conduct a preliminary investigation, draw up a plan on
how you will assist your the attorney with this case. The plan
should answer the following questions posed by the attorney:
1. What specific factors about police interrogative tactics do
you think will be important to the defense strategy? Discuss
interrogation tactics that lead to false confession, specifying at
least two examples and explain the reason they are considered
coercive. Include information about how this would look in an
actual interrogation and how the client experienced this
behavior.
2. Will you look for any specific personality characteristics in
the client? What are they and why will they help or hurt your
case? Are issues of competency going to come up? Discuss
5. information about what types of people are more at risk with
coercive interrogation tactics. Include at least one research
study that has demonstrated this risk.
3. What type of personality assessment instrument will you
want to use to either identify or rule out the characteristics
listed in question 2? Be specific and support your answer:
Identify at least one psychological test that can be used and
include information on why it would be useful in determining
whether a person was vulnerable.
Based on the client's response to police interrogation, how
should you conduct your interview? Specifically, what should
you avoid when attempting to gather accurate information
from the client?
Create a presentation to give to the attorney. You will need to
explain each of your arguments. You should expect to have 30
minutes to present your arguments.

In this Module we learned about the three types of multiple
murders: Serial, mass or spree murders. Choose one case of
multiple murder (either serial, mass or spree). Research the
case online (do not use Wikipedia as anything other than a
jumping off point) and write a paper summarizing the case.
Present this summary in the form of a 3-5 page paper which
will be used as a supplemental reading in a class on criminal
behavior. In the paper:
· Provide a detailed description of the case and the type of
multiple murder it signifies. Use at least three sources beyond
your online notes and assigned textbook.
· Discuss the reasoning for the crime according to the
offender (if available) or other sources
· Analyze the case in light of at least two psychological
theories that may explain or add to the understanding of the
event or case
· Draw a conclusion about the psychological causes of this
crime.
Remember, this paper will be assigned as required reading for
another class, so make sure that you appropriately define all of
the psychological terms that you use as if you were writing for
someone who does not have any background in the subject.

Potential students often look for guidance regarding the
programs that they are considering. You are a program
assistant at a local university. You have been asked by your
department chair (psychology) to create a booklet about the
field of forensic psychology for potential students. This booklet
will be given out at information sessions and will be sent to
students requesting more information. The department chair
asks you to create this booklet with the undecided student in
mind, remembering that while you don’t want to scare students
away, you also want to be truthful about the field. She asks for
the following information to be included:
· A description of the educational levels required and
recommended (i.e. what can a MA level forensic psychologist
do, versus a Doctorate level professional). Different roles that a
forensic psychologist can take. This can include roles in the
court and out as well as research possibilities. (2 pages)
· A discussion of each of the following and discuss why is it
important that all forensic psychologists need to be well-versed
in them (3 pages):
· Case Law
· Specific Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and why they
8. are important
· Important past research in the field
· Diversity issues
· Ethical considerations
· An analysis of at least three aspects of the American
judicial system (such as eyewitness testimony, transfer of
juveniles to criminal court, etc.), which are impacted most
heavily by psychology and psychological research (3 pages). Be
sure to discuss:
· Three aspects of the American judicial system
· How psychology has impacted these aspects
· One research study for each aspect that is considered
pivotal, classic or ground breaking in the field.
Your booklet needs to be at least 8 pages long. Because it is an
informational booklet, it will not be formatted like a formal
paper, but should be professionally and attractively presented.
Please remember that all citations should follow APA
formatting rules, and the majority of the information should be
in a formal academic writing style. However, a minority of the
information can be written in bulleted format.
