November is a time for families, faith and fun. Cooler weather brings mom, dad and kids indoors and into closer contact with one another. In November, the focus turns to travel, hot food and family gatherings. November There are several activities that families can do together during the month of November. Look at what means so much to you, Your health and family. Remember the first turkey you cooked (LOL). How many caught the kitchen on fire or forgot to take the gizzards out along with the plastic bag before you stuffed the turkey? Laugh at yourself it's ok your not alone.

EVALUATION CRIMINAL SUSPECTS
|
|
A successful profiler should possess skills in the understanding of criminal psychology and investigative experience. A Criminal investigative analysis is a person who performs tasks of reviewing crimes from both a behavioral and investigative perspective. It involves reviewing and assessing the facts of a criminal act, interpreting offender behavior, and interaction with the victim, as exhibited during the commission of the crime, or as displayed in the crime scene. To learn more feel free to explore
National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime website at: http://www.fbijobs.gov/611.asp
Typically there are three mental health evaluations that have been use in forensic criminal court assessments. And they are:
- Psychiatric evaluations, (completed by a psychiatrist)
- Psychological assessments (completed by a psychologist)
- Biopsychosocial evaluations. ( conducted by a Licensed mental health provider such as Psy.D, LMHC, LCSW, )
The psychiatric evaluation typically focuses on the diagnosis of mental disorder or mental state of a defendant. The psychological assessment uses various instruments to outline and define personality traits, emotional or psychological disorders and intellectual capacity. The biopsychosocial is the integrative assessment of an individual that brings medical, psychological, social, familial, educational, economic and cultural factors into a comprehensive evaluation of the person.
