This book explores how different social psychology theories and
concepts can be applied to practice. Considering theories from
attribution theory to coercion theory, social identity theories to
ostracism, the authors offer a greater understanding and
appreciation of the ways in which social psychology can contribute
to forensic practice. The book argues that social psychology is
useful for carrying out assessments (including risk assessments),
formulations, and interventions with clients in forensic settings,
as well as for psychological consultation, training, and the
development of services. These theories are also important when
understanding multi-disciplinary and multi-agency working,
staff-client relationships, and peer-to-peer relationships. Through
illustrative composite case examples, taken from the authors'
experiences in forensic settings, the chapters demonstrate
effective ways to pursue a theoretically informed practice.
Exploring a broad range of theories and a timely topic, Social
Psychology in Forensic Practice will interest a wide readership
including graduate and undergraduate students and researchers in
criminology, sociology, and forensic, social and clinical
psychology. It will also be of practical use to health
professionals and non-health professionals working in forensic
settings as well as policy makers and others commissioning forensic
services.
