Autor Sandie Taylor
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 mai 2024
This third edition of Forensic Psychology: The Basics continues to provide an accessible overview of the core topics and theories in this fascinating discipline.
The book provides an engaging discussion of core topics and theory in forensic psychology, alongside information about the role of a professional forensic psychologist. In addition to the established topics such as the psychology of crime and criminality, police psychology, victimology and correctional psychology, this edition has been fully updated to include coverage of:
  • The impact of labelling offenders
  • The effectiveness of new assessment
  • Rehabilitation programmes
Special topics such as terrorism, the effects of war on ex-service personnel and offender profiling have been updated, and further attention is paid to recent changes to legislation in the UK and other countries. The book also explores the importance of nature and nurture for people who commit offences, with a special focus on how this is relevant to the development of psychopathic tendencies.
This invaluable guide is essential reading for students across a range of disciplines, including psychology, criminology and law, as well as general readers seeking a concise and jargon-free introduction to forensic psychology.

Recenzii

‘This latest edition of Forensic Psychology: The Basics maintains the balance between depth, relevance and accessibility which made the previous editions so valuable for those commencing their journeys on a forensic psychology pathway.  The updates to research on genetic factors and current correctional policies show a commitment to contemporary academic research and practice, while the strong focus on adverse childhood experiences reflects a growing awareness within the system of the role these play in criminal justice involvement.  Particular highlights in the current edition are the discussions around vulnerability, agency and strengths-based approaches – all challenges which feature prominently in criminal justice practice.’
Dr Rachel Taylor, Senior Lecturer of Psychology at the University of South Wales, UK
