The application of psychological principles to research and
practice in crime prevention, detection, legal processes and
offender treatment is a feature of the growing number of advanced
undergraduate courses and graduate courses, and professional
training programmes. This book reflects the need to provide an
overview of psychological knowledge and its forensic applications
and implications, to psychology students and its forensic
applications and implications, to psychology students and to
related professional disciplines such as psychiatry, nursing,
policing, law, prison work and probation.
The Editors are very well known academics and clinicians. The
chapters are written by contributors who are recognised leaders in
their own fields, and they have provided accessible accounts of the
applications and implications of behavioural sciences for their
peers, and for professionals and students in other disciplines.
Multi-professional case work and innovative approaches to crime and
offenders are being supported by research, by poicy and by
legislation. There is a growing need to provide a wide range of
professionals with a common framework and knowledge base to aid
their shared understanding of crime and offenders, and of related
interventions.
""Behaviour, Crime and Legal Processes" will be of great interest
to psychologists, psychiatrists, lawyers and others concerned with
understanding and treating offenders. The book is readable,
scholarly and wide-ranging, covering legal issues, psychology and
the police, witness evidence, decision-making in court,
criminological theories, risk assessment and the treatment of
mentally disordered and sex offenders." - Professor
