Practicing Forensic Criminology draws on examples from actual court
cases and expert witness reports and testimony to demonstrate the
merits and uses of substantive criminological knowledge in the
applied setting of civil law and the courts. Throughout the book,
the authors provide a highly readable, informative discussion of
how forensic criminologists can apply their research and teaching
skills to assist judges and juries in rendering legal decisions.
Engaging and lively, the chapters include excerpts from forensic
criminological investigations, in-depth discussions of the
methodological and analytical bases of these investigations, and
important lessons learned from real litigation cases. Case examples
are drawn from the forensic realms of premises liability,
administrative negligence, workplace violence, wrongful conviction
litigation, and litigation involving police departments and
corrections facilities. Well referenced and thoroughly researched,
Practicing Forensic Criminology serves as an introduction to the
vast and heterogeneous field of forensic social science that is
rapidly changing and expanding. This unique and original book
guides readers through the research work of expert witnesses
working as consultants, researchers, and crime analysts and
investigators. Offering expert criminological insights into
litigation cases, the chapters reveal how forensic social science
research can be an effective mechanism for reaching beyond the
academy to influence public policy reform and legal proceedings.
Practicing Forensic Criminology will appeal to a diverse audience,
including social scientists, criminal justice students and
researchers, expert witnesses, attorneys, judges, and students of
judicial proceedings seeking to understand the value and impact of
criminology in the civil court system.
