Description
This is the first volume that directly compares the practices of adversarial and inquisitorial systems of law from a psychological perspective.
It aims at understanding why American and European continental systems differ so much, while both systems entertain much support in their communities.
In the chapters it is demonstrated how the different systems chose different solutions for many of the same problems and how the solutions are related to the typical characteristics of the adversarial and the inquisitorial systems of criminal law.
Particular emphasis is placed on problems addressed by psychological researchers and practitioners in the two systems.
Chapters cover topics including: police investigative techniques, risk assessment, the death penalty, recovered memories, child witnesses, line-up practices, expert witnesses, trial procedures, and lay versus judge decision making.
The book is written for advanced audiences in psychology and law.
