"Advances in Group Processes" publishes theoretical, review, and
empirically-based papers on group phenomena. The series adopts a
broad conception of 'group processes' consistent with prevailing
ones in the social psychological literature. In addition to topics
such as status processes, group structure, and decision making, the
series considers work on interpersonal behaviour in dyads (i.e. the
smallest group). Contributors to the series include not only
sociologists but also scholars from other disciplines, such as
psychology and organizational behaviour.
This is the 13th volume in a series of theoretical, review and
empirically-based papers on group phenomena. The series adopts a
broad conception of 'group processes' consistent with prevailing
ones in the social psychological literature.
Experiments in Criminology and Law: A Research Revolution
illustrates how experimental methods, particularly laboratory
experiments, can be useful for researchers studying crime,
deviance, and law. Scholars in these areas have typically relied on
data from surveys, ethnographies, and government records. While
such research has produced evidence regarding correlations, it has
not been as successful at increasing our understanding of the
mechanisms responsible for those correlations. This book makes the
case that laboratory experiments can help. Their strengths
complement those of traditional methods and field experiments.
Social psychology studies one of civilization's most central
concerns: human relationships. By understanding people's beliefs,
attitudes, and desires, individuals can fashion relationships that

expense of another. Written with a friendly style and engaging,
accessible language, the second edition of the popular textbook
Knowing People selects some of the best research in social
psychology and shows how it can improve people's lives. This

valuable as a supplemental text in a wide variety of social
science, business, and professional courses-in all areas where
successful interaction with other people is important.
