This is a comprehensive overview of law and psychology for the beginning student. You will get a thorough understanding of the requirements and laws going forward as a forensic psychologist. Although it is a basic beginning book, it is also very extensive. There are useful case studies, numerous citations and complete discussions of the issues a forensic psychologist will encounter and need to know to be effective.
