| Summary |
"This important book captures contemporary attempts to build bridges between the two very different disciplines of law and psychology, and establish the true nature of the interaction between the two." "It is unusual both in including contributions from lawyers, psychologists, sociologists and criminologists as well as in the very diverse range of jurisdictions from which they come, including the USA, Europe and Australia. The book sets out to bridge the inherent gap between the practice of law and the profession of psychology at an international level." "The book will be essential reading not only for academics and professionals in psychology, the law, and related disciplines, wishing to understand the broadening base of psychology within the legal process but also for students trying to form an understanding of the emerging science and the associated career opportunities for this exciting field."--BOOK JACKET |
