There is no such thing as a forensic psychiatrist.
evaluations for competency to stand trial represent the most common referral for criminally related forensic assessment.
A forensic psychiatrist can use evidence from a crime scene to put together a more complete picture of the perpetrator. Psychiatric evidence can be used to convict a criminal when other forms cannot.
Forensic psychiatrists typically work in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, prisons, forensic mental health clinics, and courtrooms. They may also work in private practice providing evaluations and testimony in legal cases involving mental health issues.

Forensic science and criminal science are related fields, but they are not the same. Forensic science involves the application of scientific methods to solve crimes, while criminal science focuses on understanding the causes and prevention of criminal behavior. In essence, forensic science deals with the analysis of physical evidence in relation to a crime, while criminal science is concerned with the study of criminal behavior and the justice system.
