Now in its fourth edition, Psychology and Law is a comprehensive guide
to the complex interactions between psychology and criminal law.
Andreas Kapardis explores contemporary psycho-legal issues both in and
out of the courtroom, from eyewitness testimony, investigative
interviewing, jury decision making, and sentencing as a human process,
to restorative justice, terrorism, police prejudice and offender
profiling. The book draws upon sources from Europe, North America and
Australia to investigate the subjectivity and human fallibility
inherent in our systems of justice. It suggests ways of minimising
undesirable influences on judicial decision making, and discusses
procedures for dealing with witnesses and suspects. Fully revised and
with greater emphasis on relevant law, Psychology and Law remains the
leading text on legal psychology for students and practitioners in
psychology, law, criminology, social work and law enforcement.
