This book brings together academics, practitioners, and experts in the field of forensic psychology to demonstrate the scope of the discipline and push its parameters. It goes beyond introductory texts to challenge perceptions, raise questions for research, and pose problems for practice, stimulating debate about how forensic psychology can aid the practice of justice. Divided into six sections, the book addresses investigation and prosecution, testimony and evidence, serious and persistent offending, treatment as intervention, intervention and prevention, and punishment and corrections.
