Answer 1

If a psychologist is assigned to assist in scheming and criticizing any innovation, project or program which is a community watch for the police department to decrease crime rate in the given situation, the psychologist's will be best labelled as a policy evaluator, where he/she will be evaluating the pros and cons of the planned project or development.
