IC Forensic Psychologist Role and Responsibilities

It may often seem that the roles of the IC forensic psychologist and the CI investigator appear to overlap. Both consider the motivations and actions of potential spies, and both must consider potential threats and vulnerabilities.

In this assignment, you will analyze what differentiates the IC forensic psychologist from the CI investigator and consider what you, as a forensic psychologist, would offer CI investigators that they may not be able to provide on their own.

Tasks:

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research the role and specific responsibilities of the IC forensic psychologist versus that of the CI investigator.

In a minimum of 300 words, respond to the following:

• Compare and contrast your role as the IC forensic psychologist with that of the CI investigator.
• Explain what additional value the forensic psychologist provides in these CI investigations.
• Explain how you can, in your role as a forensic psychologist, best impart that value without inferring that you have more to offer than the CI investigator.
