April 13, 2024 Updated June 4, 2024 4 minute read

Forensic social work is an emerging field that combines the principles of social work with the legal system. Forensic social workers assist individuals and families who are involved in the criminal justice system. In this role, social workers provide a variety of services to help clients navigate the criminal justice system and address the social, emotional, and economic issues that may arise as a result of their involvement with the law. They help clients overcome barriers to employment, obtain housing, access healthcare, and connect with social services. They also provide counseling and support to clients and their families, and advocate for their rights.
