Forensic psychology is the application of psychology to the legal system.

Some forensic psychology terms are: criminal profiling, competency to stand trial, insanity defense, forensic assessment, and forensic interviewing.

A signature for someone with a master's in forensic psychology might include their name followed by "M.S. in Forensic Psychology" or "Master of Science in Forensic Psychology." It is common to include the degree title and specialization in a professional signature to highlight their expertise in the field.

When a psychology major chooses to focus on forensic psychology, it is often referred to as specializing or specializing in forensic psychology. This involves studying how psychology principles and theories are applied in the legal and criminal justice system.
