Each chapter has been thoroughly revised and updated with the latest findings. The book also includes two entirely new chapters—one on psychopathy and crime, the other on female offenders. Drawing on a wealth of experience from leading researchers and practitioners, this new edition will interest and enthuse today’s generation of students.</p> <ul> <li>All chapters thoroughly revised and updated</li> <li>Features two brand new chapters</li> <li>Supplemented by additional online resource materials, including related links, multiple choice questions, and PowerPoint slides</li> <li>Authored by a wide-range of experienced forensic psychology professionals</li> </ul> <p><i>Forensic Psychology, Third Edition</i> is essential reading for undergraduates’ first encounter with the subject area and is an excellent introduction for more specialised postgraduate courses. </p>
