Such services are designed to provide 24-hour care for a child in a residential facility designed as a therapeutic environment. Within this setting are integrated treatment services, educational services, and group living on the basis of an individual plan for each child who cannot be effectively helped in his or her own home, (or) with a substitute family (Whitaker, 2000a)

In 1997 "the jury ruled against Simpson on each of the eight technical questions of liability it was asked to consider. It effectively found Simpson liable for his ex-wife's death" (Auther et al
These were not used to build the case that Simpson was a man with both psychological dysfunctions and a history of criminal violence and the result would be the widely rebuked acquittal on October 3, 1995. (Linder, 1) Indeed, it seems likely that a closer consideration of the Simpson trial and Simpson himself through the lens of forensic psychology suggests that his guilt might have thusly been established beyond a reasonable doubt
Quite certainly, indications of his temperament, of his tendency toward violence, of the frightening side which he displayed within the confines of his marriage and often in front of others could be considered sufficient cause for a more intensive psychological evaluation, particularly considering the strength of DNA evidence against Simpson. (Meier, 1) These conditions justified the frequently nuanced use of forensic psychology as a way of understanding Simpson's capability to commit deed which evidence suggests he had the motives, the means, the lacking alibi, the varying witness accounts and the scientific data to make a case against him
Forensic psychology brings together the two highly nuanced professional fields of psychology and criminology in order to better understand the relationship that the two share. In a general sense, the purpose of work within this field is to further "the development and application of psychological principles to the problems and administration of legal, judicial, correctional, and law enforcement systems" (O'Connor, 1) In a more specific sense, this means that an individual with expertise in the field of psychology may serve an indispensable role in informing the law enforcement, judicial and penal processes with the categorical relevance of human mental illness, or the human mental and emotional condition in general

(Simpson, 1) The letter seemed to demonstrate a certain emotional instability in Simpson and, while this notion could certainly not alone be used to seek a guilty conviction for the grisly murders, it could at least be sufficient to identify Simpson as a man who is simultaneously convinced of his own innocence and yet aware that he is the subject of widespread scrutiny and disbelief
