Reviews
This book is the equivalent of inviting a very interesting and knowledgeable forensic psychologist round for dinner, and using the opportunity to pick their brains about the reality behind the Tabloid headlines that scream out at us on the subject of violent or sexual crime. Stories (aka detailed case studies) are used to skillfully unravel psychological explanations for such acts. Make yourself a cup of tea, pull up a chair, and get ready to lose yourself in a fascinating read that will inspire, captivate and educate, regardless of starting level of knowledge. And you may as well cancel that newspaper subscription while you are at it - superficial headlines will simply annoy you hereafter. -Belinda Winder, Nottingham Trent University, UK Forensic Case Histories provides invaluable insight into the growing reliance on risk assessment in criminal justice. Craissati draws on her unparalleled experience to juxtapose individual case studies with wider research, making complex concepts accessible. It is essential reading for all professionals, lawyers and judicial bodies working with people convicted of serious offences. -Simon Creighton, Bhatt Murphy Solicitors, UK
