Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article presents the results of a study examining the development of legal psychology as a scientific specialty from 2015 to 2025. The objective of the study is to characterize the current state and prospects for the development of legal psychology as a scientific specialty. The methodological foundations of the study are systemic and synergistic approaches, which define the focus and internal logic of the development of this scientific specialty. Research methods include analysis, comparison, generalization, systematization, and forecasting. The study demonstrates a downward trend in the number of studies in the field of legal psychology and security psychology, due to the specific nature of the subject and organizational conditions. The data obtained can serve as the basis for exploring development paths for this area of psychological science and identifying priority research areas, taking into account the current state of the subject, prospects for the development of psychological knowledge, and the scope of relations regulated by legal norms.
