Work effectively with children in the criminal justice system
Forensic Child Psychology provides a basic examination of psychology and law affecting children in the criminal justice system. This accessible text is uniquely designed to train psychology, criminology, and social work students to work with children in the criminal justice system--both in the courtroom and as clinical clients. The authors include the most current research and practice-based knowledge of the judicial and child welfare systems.
Forensic Child Psychology brings the authors' combined expertise in child psychology, forensic interviewing, and criminal prosecution to bear on the process of obtaining accurate information from children involved in legal proceedings. This text also offers a practical guide for professionals who work with children who are victims of crime, youngsters who are perpetrators of crime, and children who witness crime.
This important resource covers a wide range of related topics including mandated reporting, memory and suggestibility, understanding pedophilia, and the structure of juvenile justice and advocacy systems. As practical as it is informative, the text includes a wealth of sidebars, summaries, glossaries, and study questions to assist with material mastery.
This resource gives students of child psychopathology in psychology, social work, nursing, and criminal justice at the graduate and late undergraduate stage of their educations a clear understanding of forensic child psychology.
