Produktbeschreibung

This book brings together contributions from both academics and practitioners to demonstrate the scope of the discipline and the techniques employed in key areas of research, policy and practice. It reaches beyond the introductory texts on the subject to challenge perceptions, raise questions for research, pose problems for practice, and inspire and stimulate by demonstrating the ways in which forensic psychology can aid the practice of criminal justice.
