Introduction to Forensic Psychology introduces students to the theories and practices of forensic psychology within the framework of Canadian society and legal contexts. It is written from an applied and community oriented perspective, which is designed to engage students in this exciting field, while giving them an accurate view of the true nature of forensic psychology. This text emphasizes those areas of forensic psychology where professionals spend the majority of their time, be it in clinical settings, research settings, or the application of research to clinical practice. Additionally, a separate chapter was included on Children and the Law to highlight this growing and important area of research and practice in forensic psychology.
