Psychology in Practice: Crime

Psychology in Practice

by Julie Harrower

Psychology in Practice is the definitive six-part series on the practical applications of psychology to areas of everyday life, overcoming crime, education, health, sport organizations and the environment. Each book in the series examines one unit of the Applications of Psychology section of
the OCR Syllabus. Psychology in Crime covers the application of psychology to our understanding of criminal behavior. Forensic psychology has significantly expanded over recent years and now makes a valuable contribution to the investigation of crime, the development of treatment programs
for offenders, crime prevention, and research which can provide the basis of expert testimony in the courtroom.

Very well written book about criminal psychology. This is literally for everyone. No hard psychology terms, written in a very simple yet informative way. Learned a lot, to be honest. Great for everyone interested in criminology. And the greek translation was splendid!
