Description

The disciplines of criminal psychology and law and psychology both study forensic and criminal issues with the aim of promoting more appropriate and sophisticated criminal investigation to realize more effective criminal proceedings and to promote a better society. However, there are few opportunities for integration between these complementary disciplines. In this symposium, we asked first-line researchers to report on the present state of knowledge within their field and to discuss potential future crossroads. Here, we discuss the future integration of criminal psychology and law and psychology, and suggest that researchers in both disciplines regularly hold symposiums or workshops aiming to examine and solve forensic or criminal problems that may arise in the future. For example, we may hold such symposiums or workshops at the annual conferences of the Japanese Society of Law and Psychology, the Japanese Psychological Association or the Japanese Association of Criminal Psychology. We also examine the advantages of launching a study group where young researchers from both disciplines can regularly exchange information, collaborate on research, and co-author academic papers or books.
