Reviews

Overall, I would recommend this book both to someone who has no knowledge of the subject and someone who loves the subject; it is informative yet concise. This would be absolutely perfect for a student studying forensic psychology, like myself, as I have found this a really helpful introduction to the area. - Becky Randles, The Psychologist
