By: David Webb The phenomenal success of the film The Silence of The Lambs in the early 1990s helped perpetuate the myth that psychology and forensic psychology in particular is primarily concerned with attempting to understand and profile the behavior of psychopathic serial offenders. Evaluating psychological impressions at a crime scene and generating a behavioral composite to reveal the key personality characteristics and motives of an unknown offender has become a staple ingredient of many other popular films and TV series e.g., criminal minds. It is not surprising, therefore, that many people not only incorrectly assume that forensic psychology is mostly concerned with criminal profiling but also that most forensic psychologists act as criminal profilers in the course of their work and that criminal profiling is a realistic career choice for a forensic psychology graduate. David Webb, Host and writer of the All About Forensic Psychology website knows from his time as a lecturer in forensic psychology how important it is to quickly establish the facts regarding criminal profiling. "The first thing I got my students to do was write down what they thought forensic psychology was...this was fine until I mentioned that they were not allowed to include the words serial killers or silence of the lambs, at which point most of the writing stopped!" The advice it would seem, therefore, especially if you are considering taking up a forensic psychology degree, is to ensure that you understand what forensic psychology is from an academic perspective; So what are you waiting for?
