{"product_id":"applying-psychology-to-criminal-justice-isbn-9780470015155","title":"Applying Psychology to Criminal Justice","description":"Few things should go together better than psychology and law - and few things are getting together less successfully. Edited by four psychologists and a lawyer, and drawing on contributions from Europe, the USA and Australia, \u003ci\u003eApplying Psychology to Criminal Justice\u003c\/i\u003e argues that psychology should be applied more widely within the criminal justice system. Contributors develop the case for successfully applying psychology to justice by providing a rich range of applicable examples for development now and in the future. Readers are encouraged to challenge the limited ambition and imagination of psychology and law by examining how insights in areas such as offender cognition and decision-making under pressure might inform future investigation and analysis.
