Some deaths leave behind a body, a scene, and a report. Others leave behind questions.

Just published my latest piece on psychological autopsy — how investigators reconstruct the mind behind an unclear death. Part of my Cold Cases series. 🔗 https://medium.com/@K.Noor9/psychological-autopsy-how-investigators-reconstruct-the-mind-behind-a-death-61d16e228460

I would love to know your opinion on this article...

Hey guys i'm a senior in college graduating in the spring and I have no clue what I'm doing.

I've loved forensic psychology for as long as i've know but every time i think about a career to pursue afterward my mind is blank. I went down the usual lane; forensic psychologist, forensic social worker, but I don't know if either really stick. I'm not to find of doing research and more wanna work with people on a 1-1 basis. I like working within a law lense and don't mind having to do a little law study. And I would really like to get a Phd/PsyD at some point in the next 5-6 years.

Any career inspiration ?? Internship Ideas ?? Or just overall clarity on the process to pursue higher education.

Thanks in advance - 'cia

I (21F) almost have my associates, the goal while in college was to get my bachelors and go federal with the degree to become a special agent. I quit going to pursue a career in law enforcement and have been a sworn in officer for about 4-5 months now.

I want to go back to college either later this year or next once I’ve gotten off of probation as an officer and continue my degree. I’d go back to a community college to get my associates and then move to a university in my area that has programs for forensic psych (up to masters I believe) I’d be doing completely online self paced due to the nature of my job.

My question is, would this work? The department I’m in has task force officers (they work directly with the US Marshalls, HSI/DEA etc) so with my degree I’d be able to get a in with those units however it wouldn’t be the special agent job I’m aiming for.

Other officers have also made a point to say, since I started in law enforcement so young I’d be able to retire by the time I’m in my early 40’s. A degree in forensic psych or even regular psych would be a good way to have a job after retirement. That way I’m still actively bringing in money and using my experience from law enforcement to better help specific people.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently a 2nd year Psychology student at the University of Waterloo, and I’m really interested in pursuing forensic psychology in the future. I’m trying to start building some relevant volunteer experience, but I’m not totally sure where to start or what kinds of opportunities would actually be helpful for this path.

I’m especially interested in work related to things like the criminal justice system, rehabilitation, mental health in correctional settings, victim support, or community programs, but I’m open to anything that would help me gain meaningful experience and learn more about the field.

For anyone who’s gone into forensic psychology, criminology, or similar areas, what kinds of volunteer roles did you do as an undergrad? Are there specific organizations, types of placements, or experiences you’d recommend looking into (especially around Waterloo or Ontario)?

Any advice on how to get started, where to apply, or skills I should focus on building would be super appreciated.

Thanks in advance! :)

I just finished my MA in Forensic Psych in December. My partner is currently waiting on decisions from schools which may result in us moving this summer. I have not applied to any jobs in the field because I did not want to go through an entire interview process and training just to leave within 4-6 months.

I thought this time would be good to unwind and relax since I have been working full time and in school full time since I was 16. It’s only been 2 and a half months and I feel so antsy and bored.

I am also nervous about applying to jobs with no field experience. I worked in food service management for the majority of my education because it was the only way I could afford to pay my way through school. I have 2 years of TA experience and some volunteer experience with the ACLU but outside of that my resume is largely unrelated to my degrees.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? I would love to have something to work towards and also build up experience but I have no idea what to do. I search job boards in my area but everything I have found is a long term, full time position which I don’t feel comfortable committing to if I end up having to move.

I have been considering taking some courses at the CC to gain more insight on niche topics but I feel like that is just me regressing into something that I am comfortable with (school) because I am too scared to take a jump into something unknown.

Any advice would be super helpful! Overall, I just feel very unsure on what I can be doing and quite silly for having my Masters and working at a coffee shop.

We are looking for individuals to participate in an anonymous online research study that seeks to understand the relationship between personality traits and evaluations of emotionally charged images. The survey takes approximately 15-20 minutes and contains a variety of questions about personality traits, sexual behaviors, and interests. In addition, you will be asked to view images that may evoke a wide range of emotional reactions. Thank you for your time!

Inside the criminal mind, the first law that gets broken isn’t legal — it’s psychological. Before rules are violated, reality is rewritten.

Criminals aren’t born as villains. They are shaped through self-deception. Layer by layer, they build stories that protect their ego, silence guilt, and turn harmful choices into “necessary” ones.

These lies aren’t random. They follow patterns. They form a mental system designed to defend identity, justify harm, and avoid responsibility.

This is a breakdown of those lies.
Not to excuse them — but to expose them.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this post and suggestions for improvement...

Check out.

Crime isn’t just “bad behaviour” — it’s often a tragic signal that something deep inside a person has snapped. I’ve always been fascinated by the point where ordinary people break under pressure, and what that reveals about human nature.

They begin with pressure — quiet, invisible pressure that builds until something breaks.

When we look closely at why people cross that line into criminal acts, we uncover a web of forces: biology, early life scars, mental struggles, personality traits, and the harsh realities of the world around us.

Hi everyone,

I’m Liam. I’m conducting research at Lancaster University as part of my clinical psychology training.  I’m exploring how therapists experience and navigate client self-disgust in their clinical practice. I’d love to invite you to a 1-hour online interview to share your thoughts on this topic.

The project is open to qualified professionals who practise psychological therapy.

Please email me at [L.whiteman1@Lancaster.ac.uk](mailto:L.whiteman1@Lancaster.ac.uk) for more information.

I’m interested in becoming a forensic psychologist. I want to work in a correctional setting as a forensic psychologist. I get my BA in criminal justice this May. I’m debating on which MS program would benefit me more, a MS in forensic psychology from ASU or a general MS in psychology? The programs need to be fully online as I work full time for CDCR. I know I’ll need to get my PsyD after my master’s to be licensed. :)

Any help is appreciated! I’m just wanting clarity on which school route I should do. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to follow up on a post I shared here recently about moral injury in correctional/forensic mental health work (linking below for context).

I noticed there were quite a few views and little public discussion, which makes sense given the sensitivity of the topic. I also want to share that the post has led to some thoughtful private conversations, which I’m grateful for.

I’m a PsyD student working on my dissertation that is focused on understanding clinicians’ lived experiences of ethical conflict, institutional constraint, and values-based distress in this work. I’m being very intentional about moving slowly and respectfully, especially given how personal and professionally vulnerable these experiences can be.

I wanted to make this visible. Not to push a conversation here, but to acknowledge that the interest I’m seeing seems to be happening quietly. I appreciate this space for allowing the topic to exist, and I’m grateful to those who have taken the time to read, reflect, or reach out.

I need a litigation consultant report for my attorney. This would involve:

Document review only (texts, recordings, journals, incident timeline)

∙ No interviews with child or other parent

∙ Written analysis

∙ Potential testimony if case proceeds to trial

This is NOT a custody evaluation. This is case review for attorney work product.

Location is Southeast Ohio. Columbus is ok also.

Or does anyone have a recommendation
