Introduction to Forensic Psychology

Earlier editions of Introduction to Forensic Psychology were presented to the market as text references and missed the mark as a true textbook. They were 6x9 size, lacked textbook pedagogy, lacked instructor materials, were not mapped to syllabi, and didn't have a textbook campaign. However, it sold as a textbook. Instructors liked the content, but found it difficult to use because they had to bounce around within the book to fit it to their syllabi and didn't have any of the bells and whistles they've come to expect from textbooks. The authors took heed and completely restructured the organization to map to how the courses are taught. We've expanded the trim to be standard textbook size and added more figures, tables, and text boxes, textbook pedagogy. This makes the 3e truly competitive and a true text. What this book has that the others do not is an equal representation of criminal behavior, the court systems, and law enforcement/prisons. It also has equal representation of criminal and civic forensics. Other texts tend to be weighted toward just criminal behavior or just criminal justice and primarily criminal or civic forensics but not both. This book also has equal representation of issues pertaining to adults and children.
