Some may work in family courts, and others may work in civil courts. Those working with families may deal with custody disputes and child abuse investigations. On the contrary, those who work in civil courts may have to make competency assessments, provide second opinions, and provide psychotherapy to crime victims. Some forensic psychologists work within criminal courts and assess mental competency, work with child witnesses, and provide an assessment of juvenile and adult offenders. ]]> 2017-01-26 18:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jaegersa2019/looaws0y013g/wish/149716902 jaegersa2019 https://padlet.com/jaegersa2019/looaws0y013g/wish/149720395 Those with a doctorate start out between $60,000 and $70,000 annually.
