A. forensic psychology.
Forensic psychology is the interdisciplinary area that exists at the intersection of psychology and the legal and judicial systems. As a forensic psychologist, Jonah would apply principles and practices from psychology to issues relating to law and the legal community. This field includes such tasks as providing expert psychological evaluations for courts, working with victims and offenders, and developing psychological profiles of criminal suspects. Forensic psychologists also often help with jury selection, assess competency to stand trial, and provide testimony in court cases.
