Forensic Psychology in Context

Academics and researchers from the Nordic countries (Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Finland) have made a particularly strong contribution internationally to the rapidly developing disciplines of forensic and legal psychology. This book brings together the leading authorities in the field to look systematically at the central issues and concerns of their subject, looking at both investigative psychology and psychology in court. This book reflects the results of research in the Nordic countries themselves, but each chapter is at the same time concerned to situate their work within a broader comparative and international context. The book is a major contribution to the subject, and will be essential reading for anybody with interests in this field.
