Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - What makes someone commit a crime Can behavior reveal anything meaningful about an unknown offender How reliable is an eyewitness Why do innocent people sometimes confess And can psychologists really predict who may offend again Forensic Psychology for Beginners takes you beyond crime-show myths and sensational headlines to reveal how psychological science actually contributes to investigations, courts, corrections, and the wider justice system.Written in clear, accessible language, this evidence-informed guide introduces the fascinating psychology behind criminal behavior while showing where professional knowledge ends and speculation begins. Rather than presenting profiling as mind-reading or risk assessment as fortune-telling, the book teaches you how trained professionals examine evidence, develop cautious hypotheses, evaluate competing explanations, and communicate uncertainty responsibly.Inside, you will discover how to: - Understand the psychological, social, developmental, and situational influences associated with criminal behavior- Separate evidence-based offender profiling from popular-media myths- Explore behavioral analysis, investigative psychology, and crime-scene interpretation- Understand how interviewing techniques can influence witnesses, victims, and suspects- Discover why false confessions can occur and why body language does not reliably expose deception- Learn how eyewitness memory, misinformation, suggestion, and identification procedures can affect testimony- Understand forensic psychological assessment, competency, criminal responsibility, and malingering- Explore violence risk, recidivism, protective factors, and the limits of predicting future behavior- See how psychologists contribute expert evidence without deciding guilt or innocence- Recognize confirmation bias, tunnel vision, and other thinking errors that can contribute to wrongful conclusions- Understand rehabilitation, corrections, reentry, victim-related practice, and emerging technologies in forensic psychologyThroughout the book, realistic examples, case exercises, myth-versus-reality explanations, and practical critical-thinking tools help you move beyond memorizing terminology and start evaluating forensic claims for yourself.Whether you are a psychology or criminal justice student, an aspiring forensic professional, a true-crime reader seeking something more credible than entertainment, or simply curious about the relationship between psychology and the justice system, this book provides an engaging foundation without overwhelming you with unnecessary academic jargon.Crime may capture our attention, but understanding it requires more than intuition. Learn to look beyond dramatic explanations, question confident conclusions, and discover what the evidence can actually tell us.…
