This book is a broad introduction to the field of forensic
psychology. While students most often associate forensic psychology
with criminal profiling, crime-scene investigations, and serial
murder, this text covers the many other areas where psychology has
played a significant role in providing research knowledge to the
civil and criminal justice systems. The book is a readable summary
of contemporary research and practice across a broad spectrum of
topics. Practical applications are discussed where pertinent, and
case law discussions are found throughout the text. This book is
designed for undergraduate and graduate students studying forensic
psychology in psychology, criminal justice, and criminology
courses. This book will also be of interest to mental health
professionals and anyone looking for a basic overview of the field.
