About this deck
A field that exists because legal questions about credibility, competence, intent, and risk are also psychological questions — and because the courts, left to themselves, have been historically bad at answering them. Key sections include: Forensic Psychology.; Opening Where the mind meets the court.; Chapter I The founding text.; Chapter II From Münsterberg to the modern field.; Chapter III Quantico and the profilers.; Chapter IV Does profiling work?; Chapter V The British alternative.; Chapter VI The eyewitness revolution.; Chapter VII The repressed-memory crisis.; Chapter VIII Why innocent people confess..
