"Whether struggling for accountability for major human rights abuses or trying to save an innocent client from a serious miscarriage of justice, sooner or later a lawyer is confronted with problems of evidence, particularly in assessing credibility of witnesses, reliability of memory, and psychological effects of various forms of coercion. This remarkable volume by world-renowned specialists offers practitioners the most up-to-date findings of science on the complex relationship between psychology and the law." - Juan E Méndez, Professor of Human Rights Law in Residence, Washington College of Law, Washington, USA."Editors Ray Bull and Iris Blandón-Gitlin and their authors deliver readable and up-to-date overviews of the state of psychological research on legally-relevant topics. This timely and accessible volume is written for investigative and legal professionals and students with an interest in psycho-legal research such as eyewitness evidence, jury competence, lie detection strategies, crime scene analysis, stalking, and false memories. Investigative interviewing is given extended treatment with chapters touching on the right to silence, interview strategies, establishing cooperation, eliciting information, avoiding bias, and training-as well as chapters focusing on sexual assault, minority suspects, and the use of interpreters. A rich and engaging new resource!" Steven Penrod, John Jay college, City University of New York, USA
