For courses in Forensic Psychology

Forensic Psychology is a market-leading Canadian text that provides stimulating and accessible course materials by pioneers in the field. The authors have taken a broad-based perspective that incorporates both experimental and clinical topics. The text covers topics that might otherwise be discussed in traditional social and cognitive psychology courses - including eyewitness testimony, jury decision making, and police procedures - as well as topics that are clinical in nature and might otherwise be discussed in traditional personality or abnormal psychology courses - such as the meaning of being unfit to stand trial, mentally disordered offenders, and psychopathy.
