Godwin Forensic Consultancy
Overview of Expert Services

Godwin Forensic Consultancy offers prosecutors and defense
attorneys diverse criminal investigative and trial
consultant services using ‘powerful multimedia
presentations.’ President and Director, Dr. Maurice Godwin
offers his expertise in litigation psychology, criminal
litigation, civil litigation, and profiling defense
strategies. Dr. Godwin's expertise and scientific research
in areas of psychology, criminal behavior, and criminology
distinctly sets him apart from the vast number of forensic
and clinical psychological consultants who rely on
intuitive based opinions. He has an extensive background
in using the above-mentioned areas of applied disciplines
to develop models of criminal behavior such as theoretical
and operational expert systems for linking crimes. Dr.
Godwin’s past consultant work has yielded positive
results. For example, in the recent death penalty case of
New Jersey vs. Steve Fortin Dr. Godwin’s expert testimony
for the defense on the unreliability of the FBI’s Violent
Criminal Apprehension Program (VICAP) kept VICAP from
being introduced as evidence to show similarities between
crimes.

Dr. Godwin provides his clients an array of professional
services such as behavioral analysis of crime scenes,
assessing the dangerousness of offenders, psychological
profiles, equivocal deaths, and geographical profiles.
With his pugnacious approach, he can assist attorneys in
debunking criminal profiling techniques. His book, Hunting
Serial Predators, is the first and only publication that
deals a direct blow to current criminal profiling
techniques. He brings to its clients years of both
research and professional police training.

A central focus of Godwin Forensic Consultancy is to
assist attorneys, in developing trial strategies, which
will diminish the testimony of the opposition’s profiling
expert. His expert advice is founded on research that is a
much more prosaic activity compared to loosely base
intuitive testimony that is often given in court by
profiling consultants. Dr. Godwin’s research involves the
painstaking examination of patterns of criminal behavior
and the empirical testing of those patterns to discover
trends that may be of value to an investigation or
developing new lines of inquires for attorneys. For
example, current research has found that rapists do not
evolve out of a biography of ever more serious sexual
assaults but are more likely to have a criminal history
for burglaries. Dr. Godwin can assist in preparing your
case such as depositions or cross-examinations of
individuals testifying as an expert profiler. Using his
research and experience, he knows the unanticipated -
important questions to ask.
