Volumes include the following helpful features: BL Boxes that zero in on important information for use in evaluations BL Tips for best practice and cautions against common pitfalls BL Highlighting of relevant case law and statutes BL Separate list of assessment tools for easy reference BL Helpful glossary of key terms for the particular topic In making recommendations for best practice, authors consider empirical support, legal relevance, and consistency with ethical and professional standards.

"This volume is a gemIt is rare to find a volume so well done that it cannot be improved. Each of the seven chapters is concise, yet thorough...Volumes such as this one not only help to make psychologists more effective in the legal arena but also may well help increase their numbers while reducing the divide that has long separated law and psychology. Meanwhile, Evaluating Eyewitness Identification is an essential reference for any psychologist interested in testifying in court on eyewitness evidence."--PsycCRITIQUES
