Introduction to Forensic Psychology
Clinical and Social Psychological Perspectives
Produktform: E-Buch Text Elektronisches Buch in proprietärem
This book takes a broad view of the topic of forensic psychology and adds some high publicity cases to illustrate the principles of how psychological knowledge can inform the judges and juries in the U.S. legal system. A chapter on other legal systems beside the U.S. helps make the book useful for those working in other countries. This 2nd edition contains new case law and implications in the major areas of forensics. For example, new case law applying to juveniles makes it not possible to charge them with death as a penalty or even life without parole. New admissibility of evidence rules make a significant impact on certain cases. Protecting one self from malpractice or licensing board complaints is a new chapter from the first edition. New laws covering reproductive rights and technology also are described. For example, who gets control of frozen embryos when a couple divorce? How do couples make decisions about what is in the best interests of children? What if they can’t agree? How can psychology help police avoid inappropriate interview tactics that result in false confessions?weiterlesen
