Название: The Psychology of Interrogations and Confessions: A Handbook
Автор: Gisli H. Gudjonsson
Издательство: Wiley
Год: 2003
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 705
Размер: 5 MB
Язык: English

Professor Gudjonsson has obviously put a great deal of effort into researching this subject and writing this book. The book contains a comprehensive review of the studies of noted psychologists. Unfortunately the thrust of the book appears to be aimed at pointing out his displeasure with the techniques advocated by Reid and Associates. These techniques have been proven to be extremely effective in the US law enforcement arena. I was disappointed with my purchase after the repeated "Reid bashing". The author is clearly one of the foremost researchers in the areas of suggestibility and false confessions. It would have better served others if he had spent more time discussing empirical research surrounding these areas. Well worth buying.
