You will select a topic relevant to forensic psychology and write a 4-5 page, double-spaced paper reviewing the research on your topic. You should reference at least 8 peer reviewed articles in your paper, and you should use APA format. The Purdue Owl is an excellent resource for information about APA formatting and examples
The goal of the paper is to select a topic covered in class and develop a more in-depth understanding of the topic by reviewing peer-reviewed literature. Your paper should also discuss implications of your topic – Why does this topic matter in the field of forensic psychology? What are the implications of the research on the legal system (either the criminal legal system or civil legal system)? I encourage you to use sub-headings throughout the paper to help keep the paper organized. You may want to consider sub-topics that fall within your overarching topic to help divide your paper into smaller, more manageable sections. The final paper is due on 12/1
