Opis: Forensic Psychology - Ana Gamez, William Harmening

Forensic Psychology is designed for use in forensic psychology courses and can also be incorporated in sociology, criminology, or criminal justice courses. To educate and inform readers on the rapidly evolving forensic psychology field, Forensic Psychology breaks the discipline into five distinct categories-police psychology, investigative psychology, criminal psychology, correctional psychology, and legal psychology. While each section is addressed separately, it clearly illustrates how all five are integrated in the practices of the criminal and civil justice system. A balanced approach gives readers the tools to understand forensic psychology principles today, and into the future. Each section discusses the major issues that define each subspecialty from a behavioral perspective. Every chapter features real-life case examples to engage the reader. Informative and thorough, Forensic Psychology will help students gain unique insight into criminal justice professional best practices, as well as forensic psychology principles, theory, and recent research.BRIEF CONTENTS PART I: INTRODUCTION 1: A New Discipline Emerges PART II: POLICE PSYCHOLOGY 2: The Police Personality 3: The Police Mission 4: The Police Response (Part I) 5: The Police Response (Part II) PART III: CRIMINAL PSYCHOLOGY 6: The Criminal Personality Type - Sociological and Psychological Theories 7: The Criminal Personality Type - Biological and Integrated Theories 8: Offender Typologies 9: Juvenile Delinquency PART IV: INVESTIGATIVE PSYCHOLOGY 10: Truth and Deception 11: The Identification and Apprehension of Criminal Offenders PART V: CORRECTIONAL PSYCHOLOGY 12: Prison and Jail Culture 13: Inmate Interventions PART VI: LEGAL PSYCHOLOGY 14: Psychology in the Courtroom 15: Criminal Responsibility and Competency 16: Forensic Assessment References Glossary Index
