Ideal for readers seeking a clear and informed introduction to criminal psychology, including students, professionals in related fields, and anyone interested in understanding the psychological aspects of crime and justice.

From the signals of lying to the profiling of criminals, this guide will demonstrate how understanding the mind helps us better appreciate the justice system.

It is a conundrum that has vexed societies throughout history: how do you deal with those that break the law? If their aim is to evade you, how do you identify them? If their aim is to lie, how do you interview them? If they don't see their actions are wrong, how do you help them to successfully reform?

Also covering policing, and the much debated topic of sexual offenders and their treatment, it will demonstrate how understanding the mind will help us to view modern justice from a more informed perspective.
