This is the start of my paper.
Forensic Psychology
A forensic psychologist is a psychologist that applies his/her expertise in the field to the criminal justice system. Forensic psychologists deal with criminals and are interested in how the event happened and why. The purpose of a forensic psychologist is to develop techniques and ways of bringing justice to those wrongly convicted, solve crimes by putting the pieces of the puzzle together, and using their work to prevent future crimes.
This report is an attempt to take you inside the minds of psychopathic criminals. The ones that will be mentioned in this report are Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Stephanie Wernick, Jeffrey Dahmer, and David Berkowitz.
