Description
Introducing students to the practice of forensic psychology, this text presents the roles and responsibilities of forensic psychologists and addresses both the opportunities and temptations inherent in the role. Through this lens, the book explores the ethical responsibilities of the field such as promising clients too much, the possibility of becoming advocates rather than objective scientists and the pitfalls associated with substituting one's values for data.
