商品簡介
Shipley, a clinical/forensic psychologist at a state hospital, and Arrigo (criminology, law, and society, U. of North Carolina, Charlotte) introduce students, practitioners, and academics to forensic psychology and the complexities of police, court, and correctional work, with emphasis on where and how the insights of psychology can foster human justice and pro-social change for various stakeholders through the criminal and civil justice systems. This edition has been reorganized into three parts that focus separately on adult, juvenile, and family forensics, each with information on the court and legal system, police and law enforcement, and corrections and prison practices for both civil and criminal forensics. It also has new coverage of school violence and cyber bullying, mothers who kill their children, suicide by inducing police shooting, custody evaluations, family law and emotional rights, and the best interests of the child, and more on corrections with juveniles, including boot camps and juveniles in adult jails and on death row. It has expanded cases and vignettes, practice and ethics updates, international trends, and new overviews of key issues and chapter reviews. Academic Press is an imprint of Elsevier.
