The purpose of forensic assessment is distinct from that of traditional therapeutic assessments. The settings in which forensic evaluations occur are vast, including law enforcement, correctional, and civil and criminal court settings. Assessments in forensic psychology are used for numerous applications, clinical, judicial, and consulting. The decision about how and when to use a test as part of a forensic assessment involves consideration of the relevance of the test to the legal question or to the psychological construct that underlies the legal issue. Create a PowerPoint of 6 to 8 slides (not including the title page or reference slide), that addresses the following prompts: Identify one risk assessment used in family, civil, and criminal courts (three risk assessments total). Describe the application, purpose, population assessed, and differences for gender and age for each of the three assessments. The presentation should include three to four references. The presentation should include detailed speaker notes that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Each slide should have a minimum of 150-200 words (the title and references slides do not require speaker notes). While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
