Viewing the juvenile and adult offender as being embedded and continually influenced by multiple systems, it highlights how psychological, social, economic, political and ecological factors all play a role in influencing individual behavior. Streamlined in this edition, it offers a separate chapter on delinquency, updated examples and more on the link between psychology and specific crimes.

Forensic Psychology of Criminal Minds, The (Berkley Us) (Paperback) by Katherine Ramsland (Author)
Book description: Week after week, the hit Living TV show Criminal Minds gives viewers a look inside the psyches of the fictional serial killers tracked by the BAU (Behavioural Analysis Unit). This elite team of FBI agents travels the US assisting law enforcement officials by examining the crime scene, ''profiling'' the perpetrator and aiding in arrest and interrogation. In The Forensic Science of Criminal Minds, Katherine Ramsland reveals how reality differs from fiction and how forensic psychologists actually use their knowledge of human behaviour and motivations.

When Kids Kill: Unthinkable Crimes of Lost Innocence by Jonathan Paul
Book description: Jonathan Paul goes behind the sensationalist headlines of 'child killers' to investigate why these crimes happen examines child homicide in today's violent, confusing world and contextualises it against the cruel unforgiving retribution of yesterday. Children are increasingly experimenting with drugs and committing offences, but there are those who commit the worst possible crimes: to end another person's life before their own could properly have begun. The cases are shocking but sometimes the path towards them is even more so. This is a fascinating exploration of disturbing events aimed at discovering what happens when childhood is trodden underfoot, and when and why kids kill.

New series of books: Psychology, Crime and Law
David Canter, University of Huddersfield, UK
Over recent years many aspects of law enforcement and related legal and judicial processes have been influenced by psychological theories and research. In turn concerns that derive from the investigation, prosecution and defence of criminals are influencing the topics and methodologies of psychology and other social sciences. The Psychology, Crime and Law series has been established to meet this need for up-to-date accounts of the work within this area, presented in a way that will be accessible to the many different disciplines involved. The series will be of interest to anyone who wishes to gain an understanding of the interplays between psychology, crime and the law. To find out more click here.
