A Forensic Psychologist Evaluates Violent Criminals
Dr William Alvarez, a long time friend, has been a practicing forensic psychologist for nearly 40 years. He has evaluated thousands of prisoners serving sentences for violent crimes to assess their readiness for parole. He also spent years working on child custody cases in an effort to determine parents’ suitability for custody.
