Bad Psychology
How Forensic Psychology Left Science Behind
Langbeschreibung
Robert A. Forde challenges widely held yet flawed views in the field of applying psychology to criminality. Here, he exposes the lack of evidence behind current policy and practice, the commercial and professional interests which maintain the status quo, and demands alternative approaches from the field of forensic psychology.
