Question

Do you think after reading Chapter one there is a need for interdiciplinary and intercultural collaboration in the field of Forensic Psychology? Why or Why not.

Answer 1

In the field of Forensic Psychology there is a need for interdisciplinary as for developing a proper understanding we need to include study in different fields such as; forensic engineering, forensic linguistics, forensic oceanography, forensic medicine, forensic computer investigation, forensic social work, forensic pathology, forensic anthropology, forensic archaeology, and forensic accounting. For example, we use forensic linguistics, for the in-depth evaluation of language-related characteristics of text, such as grammar, syntax, spelling, vocabulary, and phraseology, for profiling an offender. For developing all these different approaches we need to have intercultural collaboration as without collaboration and understanding of the different cultures we can’t be sensitive about them and study them.
