Discussion - Familiarize yourself with the roles and responsibilities

Discussion

Review this week’s Learning Resources to familiarize yourself with the roles and responsibilities of forensic psychology professionals in the civil court.

Based on your professional interests, choose one of the following topics that pertains to the civil court:

• Civil Commitment
  Note: Choose either civil commitment for dangerousness to self/others or civil commitment for dangerousness to the community of a sex offender. Also, you must choose a case that occurred within your state (or choose a state of interest if you live outside of the U.S.) and be prepared to comment on the specific state laws in reference to the case.
• Psychological Autopsies
• Sexual Harassment
• Workers Compensation/Disability
• Identify a well-known case that is applicable to the topic you selected and research it on the internet.
