What and why is Forensic Psychology Important in Legal Proceedings? Beth Velez Southern New Hampshire University Justice 101-Introduction to Criminal Justice Forensic psychology is an important part of the legal system, dating back to 1921. I plan to show in my paper just how forensic psychologists conduct their assessments, the implications on what the assessment and testing shows, and how it can benefit not only the defendant, but society as well.
