Psychology and law are disciplines and professions that seem to be,
at first glance, quite distinct and separate - but in reality their
congruences are many and varied - psychologists frequently appear
in court as expert witnesses; and they often actively research
topics that are directly related to law and legal practice.
Similarly, lawyers and other legal professional often face
questions in their professional practice that are inherently
psychological in nature. This text introduces the reader to some of
the intersections of psychology and law. Each chapter includes
learning objectives, exercises and a detailed reference section.
Topics addressed in psychology and law include: psychological
assessment in forensic settings; crime and policing; child custody
assessment; the detection of deception and truthfulness; eyewitness
testimony and identification; the role and treatment of child
witnesses in legal proceedings; assessing dangerousness and the
risk of violence; the psychologist as expert witness; investigative
psychology and psychological profiling; psychology and human
rights; insanity and diminished capacity defences.
