Reviews

Will serve as an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the psychology of police interrogation. . . . This book will appeal to a wide audience and likely encourage new lines of research. -- Iris Blandon-Gitlin, California State University, Fullerton We need the police to help keep us safe. But every now and then things go terribly wrong. People confess to crimes they did not commit, and juries convict those innocent people. Why? This terrific volume helps us to understand. Woody and Forrest offer insights on how the police do their job, from both a basic science and a practical point of view. Readers can join these scholars as they think about how our justice system can fix these mistakes or prevent them before they happen. Anyone who cares about the fairness of our system of justice will find inspiration in this book. -- Elizabeth F Loftus, Past President, Association for Psychological Science
