Infos

Virtually every science discipline has a recognised forensics sub-area. Until now, however, forensic communication has not been introduced as a viable area of study or practice. In this volume, recognised scholars discuss ways they have applied communication research to court cases as an expert-witness or consultant in such areas as jury selection, pre-trial publicity, sexual consent, warning adequacy, hindsight bias, jury decision making, document authorship identification, graphics and simulations, and several others.

For attorneys, the volume may provide an introduction to ways that communication scholarship can inform their future cases. For communication scholars--both established and upcoming--it may suggest ways to offer expertise as an expert witness or consultant. For casual and serious students of communication it will provide a look into one of the most fascinating applications of our scholarship.
