I think it's the misconceptions due to not knowing what is fiction especially on TV shows or films. Probably the biggest of these is the degree of certainty or that one brilliant forensic psychologist cracks the case every time in spite of the incmpetance of everyone around them.
This sometimes undermines the level of team work involved.
the misconception I heard about forensic psychology was that a career in forensic psychology requires a law degree. since they consult with attorneys on mental health and other issues in the civil and criminal court system I thought a law degree is compulsory for this
