This comprehensive text is well worth the money. The 27 contributors are all well-known experts in their fields. The contribution by legal scholar Richard Leo on false rape confessions is an especially nice addition. Each chapter also includes a comprehensive bibliography. Because this book is not searchable, I am providing an abbreviated Table of Contents for potential customers. Hope this helps you decide whether this book will be useful to you. (If it's helpful, please reward my effort by clicking on "Yes" at the bottom; that boosts my reviewer ranking.)
