It is a conundrum that has vexed societies throughout history: how do
you deal with those that break the law? If their aim is to evade you,
how do you identify them? If their aim is to lie, how do you interview
them? If they don't see their actions are wrong, how do you help them to
successfully reform?
Criminal psychology is the discipline which tackles these challenges
head on. From the signals which give away we're lying to the
psychological profiling of violent offenders, this exhaustive guide,
written by the UK's top experts, is the perfect introduction. Also
covering policing, and the much debated topic of sexual offenders and
their treatment, it will demonstrate how understanding the mind will
help us to view modern justice from a more informed perspective.
