Journal History

Jurnal Psikologi  Forensik Indonesia (JPFI), or The Indonesian Journal of Forensic Psychology, is a prestigious journal meticulously managed by the Indonesian Association of Forensic Psychology (Apsifor). Apsifor is a professional and scientific organization that was established on November 4, 2007, with the mission of advancing the field of forensic psychology in Indonesia. JPFI embodies Apsifor's vital role as an organization dedicated to developing the science of forensic psychology, as well as the practical application of its principles in various contexts. Since its inaugural publication in 2021, JPFI has committed itself to being a credible and reliable platform for researchers, academics, and practitioners who are deeply interested in the multifaceted field of forensic psychology.

JPFI focuses on publishing diverse research papers, case studies, and theoretical discussions in psychology as it intersects with law. This includes best practices in the involvement of forensic psychology in legal cases, as well as in-depth explorations of the Psychology of Law, which examines the mental processes and behaviours of legal actors, and Psychology and Law, which elucidates individual behaviour patterns within legal frameworks.

JPFI is expected to provide valuable scientific input on forensic psychology that is relevant and tailored to Indonesia's unique legal system and cultural landscape. This expectation is grounded in Apsifor's recognition that the differences in legal systems and cultural contexts necessitate research findings and theoretical insights specifically designed to address the needs and challenges faced in Indonesia. Thus, JPFI strives to be an indispensable source of information that is not only beneficial for the advancement of scientific knowledge but also for practical application in the field. By doing so, JPFI aims to make a significant and lasting contribution to the development of forensic psychology in Indonesia, fostering a deeper understanding and more effective application of psychological principles within the legal system.

This commitment to excellence and relevance ensures that JPFI remains at the forefront of forensic psychology research and practice, serving as a beacon for those who seek to explore the intricate relationship between psychology and law in the Indonesian context.
