Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

FORWARD-LOOKING THINKING FOR FORENSIC PROFESSIONALS Forensic psychology is evolving at an unprecedented pace, driven by emerging technologies, higher standards of accountability, and a growing demand for evidence-based decisions across the justice system. Big Ideas in Forensic Psychology responds to a single, pressing question: which innovations will most profoundly shape investigations, courtrooms, and correctional environments over the next decade? By bringing together a diverse group of contributors from across research and frontline practice, this book captures a field in motion and clarifies what changes are already taking hold. Organized as a fast, idea-focused collection, each chapter examines a specific innovation, from science-based interviewing and bias-aware decision models to AI-enabled workflows, digital trace analysis, and rights-consistent detention practices. Contributors not only highlight new developments but also examine limitations, risks, and real-world implementation challenges. The result is a grounded, research-informed roadmap that moves beyond theory-connecting academic insight with operational realities in policing, courts, and corrections. Big Ideas in Forensic Psychology is essential reading for forensic psychologists, investigators, intelligence professionals, legal practitioners, policymakers, and researchers across relevant fields. It is also a valuable resource for graduate students and instructors in psychology, criminology, criminal justice, and law who want to engage critically with the future direction of forensic practice.
