Varied topics under the banner of Forensic Psychology have been fabulous “starters” for discussion. Topics include:
- Eyewitness testimony – variously described as flawed and reliable.
- Reconstructive memory theory and factors impacting on fluid memory.
- When is memory most efficient?
- Memory of extremely stressful events can be accurately recalled months later.
- Forensic interviews – their structure and laws giving the right to interview.
- Mistaken identification.
- How to spot a lie.
- Wrongful convictions. The top eight factors include professional misconduct, fraudulent science, bad professional behavior and lying witnesses.
