Publisher's Synopsis
"The term forensic psychology may conjure intriguing images of brilliant criminal profilers who track down dangerous serial killers based on psychological clues left behind at crime scenes or dug up from a suspect's past. While that is one part of forensic psychology, the field is broader and more diverse, making it a critical component of the modern criminal justice system. Forensic psychologists assume a number of responsibilities throughout each stage of the law enforcement process, assisting in investigations, informing verdicts, and influencing sentencing."--
