Title Statements

Full title :Forensic psychology / Joanna Pozzulo, Craig Bennell, Adelle Forth.

Summary

The text covers topics that might otherwise be discussed in social and cognitive psychology courses--including eyewitness testimony, jury decision making, and police procedures--as well as topics that are clinical in nature and might otherwise be discussed in personality or mental health psychology courses--such as the meaning of being unfit to stand trial, mentally disordered offenders and psychopathy. Our goal in this edition was to update important ideas, issues and research in a way that students will understand and enjoy, and in some cases find useful in their professional careers. We hope that the academic community will find this textbook a valuable teaching tool that provides a comprehensive and current coverage of forensic psychology.--Page xii.
