This assignment entails watching a video or listening to a podcast related to some aspect of forensic psychology preferably no longer than 15 minutes. Suggestions of videos include TED talks or podcasts on NPR, Hidden Brain, or similar. Note that some videos and podcasts are not scholarly (such as random You Tube videos), so please use your academic discretion. An example of a great TED talks are The Psychology of Evil by Dr. Philip Zimbardo, Four Ways to Fix a Broken Legal System by Philip Howard, How Judges Can Show Respect by Victoria Pratt, Why Smart Statistics are the Key to Fighting Crime by Anne Milgram, and A Prosecutor’s Vision for a Better Legal System by Adam Foss.
After viewing your video or listening to your podcast, you will write a short two to three-page paper, in APA style, critiquing the video/podcast; telling us about what you perceive as strengths and weaknesses, and how the piece resonates with you. You should include a cover page and a reference page. Please don’t just describe the video/podcast; but instead, tell us your positive and negative views of it, and whether you believe it is pertinent to the study of forensic psychology. You should post your actual critique and a link to the video
