forensic psychology to demonstrate the scope of the discipline and push its
parameters. Its aim is to go beyond introductory texts to challenge
perceptions, to raise questions for research and to pose problems for practice.

can aid the practice of justice. The book is divided into six sections,

testimony and evidence; serious and persistent offending; treatment as
intervention; intervention and prevention and punishment and corrections. The

of diversity and depth of forensic psychology; considers ways in which the
discipline has progressed and identifies challenges for its future
sustainability and growth. Includes a new section on treatment as intervention
