"The text provides a comprehensive overview of clinical and non-clinical aspects of psychology and the legal systemIt is easy to read and clearly illustrates how we can apply psychological principles to the criminal justice system." -- Lisa Topp-Manriquez
"I like the use of research and citations throughout the text. It is more comprehensive than my current text and does a much better job of presenting the scientific evidence." -- Kathy McGuire
"This is a very useful textbook which uses succinct phrases and terminologies to explain the concepts, theories, and cases in a thorough manner. Both my students and I like it very much. With so many case studies in each chapter, students have the opportunities to demonstrate/present their understanding of the relevant concepts and theories, along with the cases." -- Yin-Yin Tan
"… this is a fact filled, comprehensive textbook with illustrations in the form of charts, tables and figures that support the text. The case and research studies further support the narrative in the textbook. Critical thinking questions imbedded in these studies help students to utilize critical thinking skills and demonstrate their knowledge of course information. This is a must use textbook for any instructor teaching about the interface of psychology & the law." -- William A. Holt
