As with its esteemed predecessor, this timely volume offers ways of
applying psychological knowledge to address pressing concerns in
legal procedures and potentially to reduce criminal offending. In
such areas as interrogations, expert testimony, evidence
admissibility, and the "death qualification" process in capital
trials, contributors offer scientific bases for trends in suspect,
witness, and juror behavior and identify those practices liable to
impinge on just outcomes. Recommendations span a wide range of
research, practice, and policy areas, from better approaches to
assessment to innovative strategies for reducing recidivism. The
interdisciplinary perspectives of these chapters shed salient light
on both the reach of the issues and possibilities for intervening
to improve the functioning of the justice system. Among the topics
covered: * The validity of pleading guilty. * The impact of
emotions on juror judgments and decision making. * The content,
purpose, and effects of expert testimony on interrogation practices
and suspect confessions. * A synthetic perspective on the own-race
bias in eyewitness identification. * Risk-reducing interventions
for justice-involved individuals.* Criminal justice and
psychological perspectives on deterring gangs. As a means to spur
research and discussion, and to inspire further collaboration
between the fields, Volume 2 of Advances in Psychology and Law will
interest and intrigue researchers and practitioners in
law-psychology as well as practicing attorneys, trial consultants,
and clinical psychologists.
