Published as two volumes and consisting of approximately 350 to 400 entries, the Encyclopedia provides an authoritative and comprehensive A-to-Z list of topics in psychology andlaw of interest to students, scientists, and practitioners. Entries are written in clear and concise language, and are designed to inform without overwhelming the reader. Entries are organized with the use of a Reader’s Guide, which will contain such categories as Criminal Behavior and Treatment, Juvenile Offenders, Eyewitness Memory, Forensic Assessment and Diagnosis, and Trial Processes.
