Clearly written introductory text - ideal for newcomers to this topic. Have recommended to our library.
This book provides Foundation Degree learners that are new to criminology and forensic psychology a broad overview of the topic. It is a good introductory text to forensic psychology and demonstrates the links between criminal psychology, offender profiling, forensics and the law. It demonstrates how psychological research and theory contribute to the understanding of criminal behaviour. It will support modules that critically examine criminal psychology
This book was too basic for my needs
user friendly for undergraduate population and examined a good introduction breadth of forensic psychology
Excellent coverage of recent research and practice in forensic psychology. Text covers the developments over the last two decades, highlighting the broad scope and application of forensic psychology.
As authors Curt Bartol and Anne Bartol note in their preface, their book Introduction to Forensic Psychology: Research and Application is a definitive resource – not only for students in the field of forensic sciences, but for general readers and mental health professionals as well.
Over 13 chapters, the book does not only offer plenty of information regarding recent research findings and concepts, but distinguishes itself by emphasising how these findings can be applied. Bartol and Bartol have certainly succeeded in creating a comprehensive overview of research and application of forensic psychology. Their book is a terrific resource for anyone interested in the important science of forensic psychology.
I will suggest my students to buy this book as supplementary for the course “Forensic Psychology”, since although this book covers most of the subjects that I am covering in my lectures, my student’s level of the English language is intermediate; therefore I don't think they will appreciate the knowledge that this book has to offer. Nevertheless, I will strongly suggest this book to those students who are confident with the English language and I will definitely use it to expand my own knowledge of the field.
Comprehensive-with up to date research and statistics, logical organization of the content material, easy to read, and high quality ancillaries.
A comprehensive textbook, student friendly and an invaluable read.
A great introduction to forensic psychology covering a broad range of topic areas. Includes useful bio boxes with perspectives given from people working in the field.
The text covers the greatest amount of relevant information. The writing style is very user friendly
