From the initial investigation of a crime to the sentencing of an offender, many everyday practices within the criminal justice system involve complex psychological processes. This volume offers up-to-date, incisive analysis of a range of topics that are attracting the attention of researchers in the psychology/n-/law domain. Showcasing important advances in experimental social and cognitive psychology, the volume focuses on the implications of emerging knowledge for crucial forensic problems. For each topic discussed, contributors examine existing forensic practices and review their scientific bases. Presented are unusually detailed explorations of relevant theory, research methodologies, and major findings, along with directions for future investigation.
