Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.

broad coverage of the key topics in the field
accessible, non-technical presentation of research findings
focus on the relevance of psychological theories to topics in law
emphasis on the institutional realities within which law functions
discussion of the problems of bringing research findings into the legal system.
