The social need for forensic psychology arises from the need for expert testimony in a court of law. After Stern's findings, psychologists began to appear in court more and more often (Tartakovsky, 2011). The first case occurred in Germany, when a defense lawyer asked psychologist Hugo Munsterberg to look at a case in which his client had confessed to the murder, but then changed his mind. his mind and claimed that he was not guilty (Tartakovsky, 2011). The judge, after hearing Munsterberg's opinion, however, was furious because Munsterberg thought he had experience in the case and refused to believe his assessment, and the man was found guilty and hanged (Tartakovsky, 2011). Following this experience, Munsterberg published a book entitled On the Witness Stand. In his book he explains the importance of psychologists in a courtroom, and how suggestive questions can cause false memories, and therefore that eyewitness testimony is often tainted by the way the questions are asked, making them unreliable. Therefore, after the publication of the books published and accepted by the scientific communities, it became clear that there was a need for experts to testify in courts, however, this need was not met until the 1940s and 1950s, when they became a regular part of the courtrooms. court (Tartakovsky, 2011). ). Since then, forensic psychology has grown and evolved, and forensic psychologists no longer work only in courtrooms. Forensic psychology is a broad profession, however, each profession specification applies psychology to criminal investigations and the law. They are often involved in all aspects of the law.

After falling in love with a beautiful woman with long brown hair parted in the middle, he has grown into a handsome, confident young man (Bell). However, when she broke his heart, he raped and killed around 40 women who resembled his first love (Bell). Even on death row, Bundy confessed to only a few of his murders and most of the bodies were never found (Bell). He continually told different people different things and even told one detective "for every publicized murder, there might be one that wasn't (Bell)." To this day, no one is completely aware of how many people Ted actually killed, however many experts believe the count could be as high as 100, not counting the 36 confirmed victims. And where the bodies of many of his victims lie, no one will ever know. Bundy was executed in the electric chair on January 24, 1989.
