Description: This book offers carefully curated articles from the European Association of Psychology and Law (EAPL), featuring chapters from a truly international group of scholars. It is the first of its kind to provide insights into current developments in psychology and law in Russia. The field of psychology and law has a very long and strong tradition in Russia, but little is known due to Russian scholars rarely publishing their works in English. The volume also covers state-of-the-art chapters on core topics such as offender profiling, lie detection, crime linking, false memories, and witness interviewing.
