This fascinating and research-led textbook gives students the facts
and the tools they need to engage critically with the psychological
dimension of the criminal justice system. Accessibly written and
packed with the latest psychological research, Forensic Psychology:
Fact and Fiction is an engaging and wide-ranging exploration of
both foundational and contemporary issues. The book prepares
students to weigh up evidence and arguments, and reach their own
conclusions about the issues and questions that have led them to
study forensic psychology. Forensic Psychology: Fact and Fiction
gives students all they need to get to grips with debates about the
link between mental fitness and criminal responsibility, the
purposes and effectiveness of punishment, and the use of police
force, and others. It places psychology at its heart, combining
research with legal perspectives to give the full picture. Drawing
on global research and examples, students are given insights into
what differs and what remains the same across jurisdictions and
borders. Real-life case studies illustrate forensic concepts,
allowing students to see how psychology is applied to criminal
behaviour and the response of society to it. This comprehensive
introduction is ideal for undergraduate students taking a course in
forensic psychology. Balancing clarity and rigor, the book takes
the student on a journey from the fundamental concepts through to
the application of psychology to forensic techniques. Accompanying
