It has widespread recognition with several well-known, high-impact journals and a vigorous range of international and national forensic psychiatry associations and meetings. In North America, the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law (AAPL) stands large as the national association representing not only the forensic psychiatrists of the United States but also from Canada and the rest of the world. Its Journal, and its predecessor the Bulletin, is well read and respected.
