Description
Making an Impact on Policing and Crime: Psychological Research, Policy and Practice applies a range of case studies and examples of psychological research by international, leading researchers to tackle real-world issues within the field of crime and policing.
Making an Impact on Policing and Crime documents the application of cutting-edge research to real-world policing and explains how psychologists' insights have been adapted and developed to offer effective solutions across the criminal justice system. The experts featured in this collection cover a range of psychological topics surrounding the field, including the prevention and reduction of sexual offending and reoffending, the use of CCTV and 'super-recognisers', forensic questioning of vulnerable witnesses, the accuracy of nonverbal and verbal lie detection interview techniques, psychological 'drivers' of political violence, theoretical models of police-community relations, and the social and political significance of urban 'riots'.
This collection is a vital resource for practitioners in policing fields and the court system and professionals working with offenders, as well as students and researchers in related disciplines.

Reviews / Votes
"This is a really important and impressive collection of the best of recent psychological research applied to crime and policing. The benchmark of using the Research Evaluation Framework has focused the book on high quality research with demonstrated impact which makes this collection both relevant and compelling for both students and practitioners." -Dr Peter Neyroud, former Chief Constable of Thames Valley, CEO of the National Policing Improvement Agency, University of Cambridge, UK"Across the world, police and criminal justice systems are wrestling with demanding issues of sexual offending, facial recognition, terrorism, rehabilitation, peaceful order maintenance, securing the truth and legitimacy. For those inside or outside those systems who want to make a difference, this collection of ideas and research, supported by promising or more convincing evidence of real impact, is a great starting point." -Sir Denis O'Connor, HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary 2009-12, Institute of Criminology Cambridge, UK
