This is a concise, engaging overview of forensic psychology,
spanning its origins as a discipline through the many varied
opportunities for employment today. In easy-to-understand language,
the book describes federal and state legal systems as they
interface with psychological constructs, and presents several
chapters focusing on specific areas of the discipline, from
criminal matters and ethical issues to family court and juvenile
justice. The roles of the forensic psychologist and attorney in
court proceedings are addressed and clarified, and landmark cases
are highlighted to demonstrate key concepts and how forensic
psychologists can influence the law. The book provides a legal
foundation that forensic psychologists need to succeed in the
profession, and highlights the methodological and assessment tools
needed to evaluate clients and other individuals. Fascinating case
studies-presented as "briefs" to highlight important facts and
issues- and commentary by nationally renowned forensic
psychologists and attorneys bring concepts to life, and call-out
boxes are interspersed throughout describing relevant current
events and profiling day-to-day work in the field. Chapter
overviews, summaries, and discussion questions reinforce the book's
