This book brings together an international group of experts to
present cutting-edge psychological research on crime, policing and
courts. With contributors from the UK, Germany, Italy, Norway,
Cyprus, Israel, Canada and the USA, this volume explores some of
the most interesting and contemporary areas of criminological and
legal psychology. The Psychology of Crime, Policing and Courts is
divided into three parts. Part I explores crime and anti-social
behaviour, including the concentration of offending within
families, juvenile delinquency, adolescent bullying, cyberbullying,
violence risk assessment, and psychopathy. Part II examines
policing and the detection of deception, with chapters on
interrogational practices, police interviews of children, and
modern detection methods. Part III focuses on courts and
sentencing, with chapters exploring wrongful convictions, the role
of juries, extra-legal factors in sentencing decisions and an
examination of sentencing itself. Representing the forefront of
research in developmental criminology and criminological and legal
psychology, this book is a comprehensive resource for undergraduate
and postgraduate students studying psychology and criminology, with
particular value for those studying forensic psychology. This book
is also a valuable resource for psychologists, lawyers, social
scientists and law enforcement personnel.
