Psychology and Law promotes an understanding of the relationship between psychology and law by showing how psychological research and theory can inform the legal process. Whereas most psychology and law courses focus on issues of witness testimony and the social psychology of the courtroom, this broad, two-part book looks at witness credibility and accuracy as applied to offenders, witnesses, and victims. Recent research is applied to the accuracy and credibility of participants in legal contexts. 
The book shows how we can predict behavior by the execution of well-designed studies and the application of psychological theory. Written by experts, the text provides an up-to-date review of research on factors that influence credibility and accuracy of evidence-central issues in legal psychology.
