Service Integrity Forensic Psychology (SIFP)

Service Integrity Forensic Psychology (SIFP) is defined as the scientific application of psychological principles to governance, investigative, and leadership contexts. It represents a doctrinal evolution of forensic psychology, extending its scope beyond the evaluation of individual pathology to encompass the systemic, institutional, and covert dimensions of integrity. Whereas general forensic psychology traditionally focuses on assessing mental states, competency, or rehabilitation of individuals within judicial processes, SIFP shifts the analytical lens toward institutions themselves; their structures, cultures, vulnerabilities, and resilience.
