5.0 out of 5 stars very informative, December 4, 2008
This review is from: Wrightsman's Psychology and the Legal System (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent undergraduate text. It provides a very fine review of most critical psychological issues within the legal system. Written by experts in the field, it provides confidence regarding content. It's well written and ought to be at least considered for undergraduate courses in psychology and the legal system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just What I Was Looking For!, February 2, 2012
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
So I've had this book in my wish-list for a while. I knew I wanted it, but I given the price I kept putting it off. I finally got it and I really wish I'd bitten the bullet months ago. I've been working on my masters in forensic psychology, and there are so many ways this text could be useful, especially for those like myself who do not have an undergrad degree in criminal justice or the like. Thorough, and well organized, this book examines theories, cases, standards, and the cases that showcase these elements. Whether you are trying to do a case conceptualization or understand more about legal standards and precedence, this book can help. It even takes a look at HBO's Dexter to compare fictional and realistic psychopaths!

Definitely worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great condition, January 1, 2012
This review is from: Wrightsman's Psychology and the Legal System (Hardcover)
The book under review was for one of my criminal justice classes and it arrived right on time and was in perfect condition. When the college I attend only provides electronic books I airways go to Amazon. Com for the book(s) I need. In the past I have recommended Amazon.com and I will continue to in the future!
