What colleges offer Criminology/Forensic Psychology?

Hi! I'm currently in my first year of college, majoring in BA Psychology. I'm genuinely passionate about my course, but more so on Forensic/Criminal Psychology. However my college doesn't offer this specific class, only BA Psychology as a general course. So for my graduate studies, I want to focus more on Forensic Psychology. I want to ask on what colleges offer Criminology/Forensic Psychology courses in the U.S? since I'm planning on getting a professional license there in the future. #psychology #college #criminal-justice #college-major #forensic-psychology

How involved in the treatment of patients are psychiatrists?

Do they simply diagnose and/or prescribe treatment? Or do they directly partake in the treatment process, too, like doing talk therapy? I'm looking into psychologists and psychiatrists and both are appealing to me, but I want to be able to be involved in the treatment and be able to aid in healing and/or coping of patients.

Is it difficult to keep your personal feelings separate as a defense attorney?

Most people when asked would say that they would have trouble defending a murderer to their best effort. As such, I was hoping to get a bit more insight into how public defenders manage to put their personal feelings aside and focus on their job. #criminal-justice #career #emotional-intelligence #attorney #law-practice #law
