{"product_id":"9789053567630","title":"The Popular Policeman and Other Cases: Psychological Perspectives on Legal Evidence","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe role of psychologists, both in the courtroom and at the crime scene, is rapidly expanding. Surveying a wide range of international court cases, \u003ci\u003eThe Popular Policeman and Other Cases\u003c\/i\u003e explores the critical—and often misunderstood—intersection of psychology and law.\u003cbr\u003e The authors, both expert psychologists with extensive experience in the courtroom, are quite familiar with the fundamental differences between the law and psychology as an empirical science. As well as dealing with well-known and controversial issues such as recovered memories or false confessions, \u003ci\u003eThe Popular Policeman and Other Cases\u003c\/i\u003e examines a variety of less traditional criminal topics, including illegal gambling, trademark litigation, and the perils of risky courtship behavior. Each chapter reviews an actual case, appraises the relevant scientific research, and then demonstrates how psychological insights were introduced within the courtroom. The authors conclude by noting the outcome of each case—and how their research played a role in the decision.\u003cbr\u003e With its detailed investigation of the complex links between psychological research and its eventual application in the courtroom, \u003ci\u003eThe Popular Policeman and Other Cases\u003c\/i\u003e fills a critical vacancy. It is virtually impossible for researchers to make significant progress within the field of law and psychology without experience as expert witnesses in actual trials. This casebook will be essential for their studies.","brand":"Amsterdam University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043597664496,"sku":"9789053567630","price":38.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789053567630_p0.jpg?v=1763670387","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789053567630","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
