This thoroughly updated and revised new edition provides an
essential overview of a full range of psychological contributions
to the understanding of crime and the processes of dealing with
offenders and helping their victims. From the cognitive,
developmental and social processes that influence a diverse range
of crimes, including burglary, fraud, rape and murder, to the
challenges faced by the police and courts in investigating crime or
securing reliable testimony, the text is packed with pedagogical
features that bring this fascinating subject to life. These include
boxes highlighting key topics or issues around research methods,
further reading and suggested essay titles. Also including chapters
on rehabilitation in prisons and the psychology of victims, the
text examines hot topics such as gang membership and terrorism, as
well as discussing how psychology may better understand criminals
and criminal behaviour in the future. It builds to a comprehensive
and accessible introduction to the field. It will be ideal for
students across psychology, criminology and socio-legal studies and
law.
