Riassunto:

Providing cutting-edge research in police and correctional psychology, the psychology of crime and victimization, and psychology as applied to criminal and civil courts, this dynamic reader addresses key topics in each of three major course areas - criminal behaviour, forensic psychology, and psychology and law.

Highlighting how forensic psychology has contributed to the understanding of criminal behaviour and crime prevention, the editors have assembled new published journal articles, as well as commentaries written specifically for this book by forensics experts, to provide an overview of the wide array of prevalent theories in this field.
