Description:

Trials of a Forensic Psychologist: A Casebook is a collection of ten high-profile, controversial, and provocative legal cases that provide readers a deeper understanding of the controversial yet necessary role that forensic psychology plays in the American system of justice. Covering complex psychological and legal issues, such as battered women syndrome, malingering, false convictions, and insanity pleas, these cases allow students to connect psychological and legal concepts to the real life stories told. For forensic science/true crime readers and forensic psychologists alike, this fascinating book is both compelling and educational.
