A New Forensic Psychology Resource

Many thanks for taking the time to check out my forensic psychology website. My name is David Webb and I have a first class honors degree in psychology and a Masters in Occupational psychology. For a number of years, I was a lecturer in psychology at the University of Huddersfield (UK).

In 2003 I moved to sunny Spain with my family, where I now work as an online tutor and research dissertation supervisor.

Forensic Research

It was a result of my research activity that I ended up pursuing an interest in forensic psychology. Since 2000, I've been involved in collaborative research with teams of forensic odontologists (dentists) in the UK, US and Canada.

Forensic odontologists carry out body identification work from dental remains at accident and crime scenes, and at mass casualty sites. For instance in the aftermath of a plane crash and most notably in recent years at The World Trade Center post 9/11.

The research I conducted was primarily to examine the emotional and psychological impact of this kind of work. In a completely different research project, we also explored the forensic implications of biting behaviour within the context on a criminal investigation; given that bitemarks are often found on the victims of violent and sexual crime.

If you'd like to read some of our published research, you can do so by clicking on the following links. The journal articles should open automatically. If they don't, you will need to install Adobe Reader on your computer. You can get Adobe Reader for free by clicking here (a new window will open so you can download without leaving this page).

If you want to open the journal articles in your browser window, you can just click on the links.

Being involved and conducting research with a group that operates under the umbrella of forensic science meant that I had the opportunity to attend a number of forensic science conferences.

Most of the conferences had a forensic psychology or behavioural science section; and as a result of attending presentations on topics such as criminal profiling, my interest in Forensic Psychology was ignited.

I then had the opportunity to co-write an undergraduate course in forensic psychology, which basically forms the basis of the information and topics addressed on the website.

In recent years the discipline of Forensic Psychology and related topics such as offender profiling have been the subject of a whole host of books, films and television series. However, despite its continued coverage and popular profile very few people get to study the topic in depth.

One of the main reasons for putting this forensic psychology website together, therefore, was to the make the academic study of forensic psychology much more accessible.

I say academic study because what I hope this site will also offer is a balanced account of forensic psychology, as opposed to the often distorted, sensationalised and inaccurate view promoted in the popular media.

I sincerely hope that you find this new forensic psychology resource informative and interesting.

Thanks again for stopping by. I hope you find the website useful and interesting. I thought the picture of me and my boys on the beach would be appropriate for this page as although I didn't realise it as the time, the shadows we created look very much like the universal symbol for psychology.
