Abstract
‘Always the bridesmaid?’ considers the future for forensic psychology. Until recently, forensic psychologists were seen as providing a supporting role, but there is now increasing professionalization of forensic psychology, which is able to draw on the full range of psychological and behavioural sciences. The impact of a scientific psychology, with its standardized tests and experimental methods, developing theories and objective procedures, has been significant. There is great potential for the expansion of forensic psychology; psychological experts are finding their way into family courts and civil proceedings, rather than just working in criminal courts. There is also room for more psychological discussion of crime prevention and increased work with offenders outside the prison system.
