Hi all!
I'm looking into possibly applying to some PhD programs in counseling psych and I was wondering what the likelihood is/if it's even possible for counseling psychologists to work with forensic populations? I know that to be a psychologist for the BOP (which is my goal) you can either be clinical or counseling, but I wasn't sure if there were ways or if it's common for counseling psychologists to work with other forensic populations (juvenile corrections, victims of sexual or other crimes, or any other forensically involved groups).
