FP6010 Module 1 Assignment 3 Individual
Research Task NEW
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.
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,

2. 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.
