[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really fantastic book. Don't pay attention to the other one to three star reviews made by some select individuals on here. They either don't know about forensic psychology, could care less, or are paid bots. As a future forensic psychology graduate student, this book gives an excellent overview of what to expect in the field. Before even considering pursuing an education in forensic psychology, it would behoove you to read this book before even applying so that you know what you're getting into.
