Despite important technological advances, most forensic
investigations and prosecutions still rely heavily upon human
factors. It is in understanding these human factors that psychology
has a major role to play.
This book brings together cutting-edge researchers in forensic
psychology to show how psychological knowledge can be applied to
investigating and prosecuting offences. It takes a holistic
approach, linking together the different stages of the
investigation and prosecution processes, demonstrating what
psychology can contribute at each stage. The links between
maximising reporting rates, thorough investigation, proper
presentation of evidence in court, and of effective sentencing
policy are examined. Potential pitfalls for the investigative and
prosecution process are outlined and ways of overcoming these
problems discussed.
"Practical Psychology for Forensic Investigations and
Prosecutions" describes contemporary research but it is also
immensely practical. Written for police officers, lawyers, forensic
psychologists and social workers, it will also be a valuable
resource for all psychology students who wish to see how psychology
can assist policing and the law.
