Advances in Psychology and Law

Advances in Psychology and Law: Volume 4 is an anthology edited by Brian H. Bornstein that brings together review articles examining connections between psychological research and legal issues. The collection addresses key subjects across law enforcement, courtroom adjudication, and interpersonal offenses.

Contributions in the volume analyze societal perceptions and behavior, exploring public attitudes toward the police, intimate partner violence, and hate crimes rooted in gender and sexual orientation. The text also investigates core investigatory and trial practices, such as the evaluation of alibis.

Reflecting themes highlighted at American Psychology-Law Society conferences, this 2019 volume gathers topics that attract extensive research and public policy attention in the United States and internationally.
