Written by two of the leading authorities in the field, FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGY, Third Edition introduces you to the practice of forensic psychology by showing how psychologists aid the legal system by serving as expert witnesses, criminal profilers, and trial consultants for jury selection and child custody hearings. Wrightsman and Fulero present the roles and responsibilities of forensic psychologists, and address both the opportunities and temptations inherent in those roles. Through this lens, the authors explore the ethical issues facing practicing forensic psychologists, such as promising clients too much, the possibility of becoming advocates rather than objective scientists, and the pitfalls associated with substituting one's values for data. The authors provide an accurate and candid picture of the field, and the range of careers in forensic psychology.

Forensic Psychology PDF

I am an attorney for a psychiatric hospital and purchased this text, which was the primary required textbook in a graduate level Psychology and Law class that I took last Fall. The book served its purpose as a very general, basic introduction to the field, but if you are looking for a reference text, as I had hoped this would be, this book will likely fail to meet your needs. I found the bibliographic references to primary sources in the literature to be the best part of the book; without that, I probably would have given the text one (1) star.

I rented this textbook for my kindle at a great price compared to buying. However, there were several boxes that were completely greyed out and had the message that the content was copyrighted and could not be viewed. I called Amazon customer service to resolve this but they were unable to fix it. They did refund my rental fee, but I do not recommend viewing this on your kindle.
