Logic and Critical Thinking: Through the Lense of Forensics <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My\n presentation explores Logic and Critical Thinking, specifically the \nlatter, in relation to Forensic Psychology. Critical Thinking can be \ndefined by two separate types of reasoning, rational and rationalized \nreasoning. Forensic psychologists study the ways criminals use reasoning\n skills to rationalize their behavior to themselves and others. \nReasoning can also take the form of “rationality,” which involves \nfollowing premises to a true conclusion. Forensic psychologists do this \nwhen they create profiles for criminals, attempting to rationally \nunderstand the rationalization processes of criminals in order to create\n patterns that assist in stopping them from committing more crimes in \nthe future. Through my research into forensic psychology, I expose a \ntension in critical thinking: reasoning skills can be used both for \ntruth-seeking and for justifying violent and immoral behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
