Introduction to Forensic Psychology and Current Perspectives in Forensic Psychology and Criminal Behavior 2/e, Bundle

by Curt R. Bartol, Anne M. Bartol

We offer these texts bundled together at a discount for your students.

This text and reader bundle provides a broad introduction to the field of forensic psychology. While students most often associate forensic psychology with criminal profiling, crime scene investigations, and serial murder, this text covers the many others areas where psychology has played a significant role in providing research knowledge to the civil and criminal justice systems. The book is a readable summary of contemporary research and practice across a broad spectrum of topics. Practical applications are discussed where pertinent, and case law discussions are found throughout the text.

The companion reader provides cutting-edge research in police and correctional psychology, the psychology of crime and victimization, and psychology as applied to criminal and civil courts.

It isn't a horrible textbook. Gets very wordy at points and can be difficult to navigate as it does often tie in older topics with new ones, which is great, but can make searching for particular items for a paper difficult.

How does one review a textbook? It was readable and informative. Since this was for an online course, I knew I was going to have to read the whole thing and since that would take away from my pleasure reading, I decided to count it. Didn't quite get it finished before the semester ended because of writing papers -- just skipped around in the last few chapters. I am glad to have gone back and read the parts I skipped while on summer break. I learned a few things in the final reading.

Read Book: Criminal Behavior: A Psychological Approach (11th Edition) by Curt R. Bartol & Anne M. Bartol

I read the latest edition [11th] by Curt R. Bartol as this was part of my Criminal Behavior class in college. This book seemed well-structured in which completely helped me with learning about such criminal behaviors as well as behaviors in the forensic psychology field.
