Rezensionen

"This is an excellent and timely review of the pertinent research related to social psychology and forensic practice. The writing is impeccable and engaging, the examples vivid, and the implications profound. The authors have gone beyond the boundaries that most books on this topic cover, making it truly unique, generative, and worth having on your bookshelf."

Kipling D. Williams, Distinguished Professor, Department of Psychological Sciences, Purdue University, USA

"This gem of a text invites us to shine a light through the many layers of complexity in forensic practice, providing exciting new social psychological perspectives on critical issues: power, attribution, ostracism, impression management, to name a few. From time to time, the unique world of forensic services feels like a turbulent, risk-saturated tinderbox, an imbalanced and imperfect world where the majority are typically related to as less powerful than the minority who hold the keys. This volume provides a much-needed demonstration, brought to life with case material throughout, of how to extend the relational, more culturally competent tool-kit for forensic practitioners; to shift shared understandings and consequent dialogues more robustly in the direction of change where it is needed most."

Estelle Moore, Associate Professor of Forensic Psychology, Clinical & Forensic Psychologist, Head of High Secure Psychological Services, Broadmoor Hospital, UK
