This type of report is explicitly mentioned in the Criminal Procedure Law (LeCrim) in its articles 456 and 478.[7] It is used to assist the judicial bodies at different procedural moments (Instruction, prosecution, execution of the sentence and compliance with the sentence) of the case.

Therefore, it is necessary for the professional to appear credible and honesty of their results is also required because in forensic psychology there is a risk that errors will have serious consequences for the people involved in the process.
