Reviews
Engaging and appropriate for the intro to forensic psychology course. - Shawn Talbot, Kellogg Community College This text is quite appropriate for juniors and seniors in college. I can also see it as appropriate for graduate students also in an introductory grad course. - Herman Huber, College of Saint Elizabeth It is a thorough and current examination to forensic psychology with just enough classical research and references to provide a harmonious balance. - Russell Espinoza, California State University- Fullerton This textbook is full of some of the most critical issues relevant to forensic psychology as a quickly evolving field. Kudos to you guys for writing it. an excellent answer to the gap left by other textbooks with regard to the Canadian approach. It's a tough thing to do! - Anne Corbin, Thomas College
