Which of the following is a forensic psychologist most likely to do?
A) train and evaluate police officers
B) profile criminals
C) help detectives investigate a crime
D) read the body language of suspects
Answer: A
Rationale: In contrast to the way it is usually portrayed on TV and in movies, few forensic psychologists are involved in criminal profiling or investigation. You would more likely see forensic psychologists working in prisons, training and evaluating police officers, or assisting with jury selections and evaluating whether defendants are able to stand trial.
