The key issue then becomes whether the memory loss is genuine or feigned. \u003ci\u003eOffenders’ Memories of Violent Crimes\u003c\/i\u003e takes a new approach to the subject by focusing not on eyewitness or bystander testimonies, but on the testimonies of the offenders themselves - or, more specifically, on the way they remember and relate their violent crimes. Under the guidance of Sven Christianson, expert contributors explore offenders’ memories with particular emphasis on theory and empirical research across areas such as memorial patterns, instrumental and reactive offenders, crime-related amnesia, crime-related brain activation, detecting lies and deceit and interviewing techniques.

Christianson\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Psychology, Ph.D., Chartered Psychologist, and chief of the Research Unit for Forensic Psychology, at the Department of Psychology, Stockholm University, Sweden. He is also an Adjunct Professor at Sundsvall Forensic Psychiatric Hospital, Sweden. Dr Christianson has authored or co-authored over one hundred papers published in peer reviewed psychological and medical journals and anthologies, and has written or edited several books regarding crime, trauma, and memory, for example \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Emotion and Memory\u003c\/i\u003e (1992), \u003ci\u003eTraumatic Memories\u003c\/i\u003e (1994), \u003ci\u003eCrime and Memory\u003c\/i\u003e (1996), \u003ci\u003eAdvanced Interrogation and Interviewing Technique\u003c\/i\u003e (1998) and \u003ci\u003ePolice Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e (2004). The objective of his current research programme is to gain an understanding of the relationship between emotion and memory, with a research focus on victims’, bystander witnesses’ and offenders’ memories of violent and sexual crimes. Dr Christianson has been a consultant in numerous murder, rape and child sexual abuse cases, and he is a sought after speaker and psychological expert witness.  Claims of amnesia for violent and sexual crimes are extremely common as guilty suspects often allege memory loss to avoid punishment.  The important issue in each case then becomes whether such memory loss is genuine or feigned. \u003ci\u003eOffenders’ Memories of Violent Crimes\u003c\/i\u003e takes a different approach to the subject by focussing not on eyewitness or bystander testimonies, but on the testimonies of the offenders, or, more specifically, offenders’ remembering and telling about their violent crimes.  \u003cp\u003eThe book will explore offenders’ memories with particular emphasis on theory and empirical research on such topics as memorial patterns in perpetrators, instrumental and reactive offenders, crime-related amnesia, crime-related brain activation, detecting lies and deceit and interviewing techniques.  Organised into three parts: \u003ci\u003etheoretical aspects of offenders’ memories; evaluating offenders’ memories and interviewing offenders\u003c\/i\u003e, this timely volume will further the understanding of criminal behaviour.  It will be essential reading for psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, social workers and all students and practitioners of clinical psychology, forensic psychology, and law enforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished in the Wiley Series in the Psychology of Crime, Policing and Law\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeries Editors:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eProfessor Graham Davies\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Leicester, UK,\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eProfessor Ray Bull\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Leicester, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989709668581,"sku":"NP9780470015087","price":56.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470015087.jpg?v=1761785197","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/offenders-memories-of-violent-crimes-isbn-9780470015087","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
