From the reviews: 

“The handbook ‘analyzes the principles, theories, and methods of both forensic sociology and psychology and their use in the justice system.’ ... The language and style are clear and make the book easy to understand, and examples of the sociological and psychological environment of forensics are straightforward. This work is for those involved in the study, teaching, or practice of forensics, criminology, psychology, sociology, law, and related disciplines. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.” (G. A. Collins, Choice, Vol. 51 (7), March, 2014)
