CSI: Reality! Real life Forensic Psychiatrist Tara Straker talks criminals! 

This video was AMAZING. I am a 3rd yr medical student and am STRONGLY considering forensic psychiatry. Thank you!!

The more I hear about forensic psych the more I wish I had discovered it in med school. Such a cool field

The interviewer was interrupting the whole time. It would have been much more interesting if she let her speak.

I love your channel

Rude & condescending of the host to repeatedly address the expert by her 1st name. That's a physician. Should've said Dr. (last name)

The Brooks case (Wisconsin Parade murderer) hearing (streaming on RU-vid), wherein the Judge oddly (in my opinion) concluded he was competent to defend himself, worrisomely suggests (to me, a retired family Dr) that forensic psychiatrists should help protect all defendants rights to justice by promoting better screening of defendants before situations like Mr Brooks' under-informed presumption of competency leads to a discharge of competent council. Please. Thank you.

Ok, number one, why does it look like this poor girl is about to cry the whole time? Number two she really isn't talking much about what this lady actually does. She isn't a profiler or a crime scene tech. Mind Hunter is about the beginning of the profiling division for the FBI. They were not concerned with helping anyone. They simply wanted to extract information from them in order to help catch other criminals. Their is a psychaitric element to it, but I don't believe that is what this lady does at all. Also, as she stated the insanity defense is rarely used or considered. The standard to prove this is very high. Basically you had to have no idea what you were doing at the time or that it was wrong. This is pretty hard to prove in most cases. Normally the burdon of proof lies with the prosecutor. They have to prove to a certain degree you did what they are accusing you of. The defense just has to combat that, cast doubt on it or look for something they did wrong to get it thrown out. Once you go for an insanity plee now the defense has start proving your state of mind when it happened. I would assume most lawyers don't want to mess with that. The other problem is that in order to do it you have admited you actually commited the crime. If you can't prove your insanity claim guess what, you are guilty. Also it rarely means you are going to get set free. It just determines where you are going to end up. Instead of prison you are going to a mental facility instead. And often times you are there longer than you would have gone to prison. Or they could send you to prison anyway but order treatment while you are there. I think you can bring up mental illness during the sentencing part though and that might effect your over all sentence.

Listening to the host say "him or her" over and over instead of "them" was incredibly grating.

Y her neck so long tho
