What does a Criminological Psychologist do? The popular image is that of a latter-day Sherlock Holmes helping the police to solve crimes and mysteries, but the reality is much more complex. Psychology and Crime is a new introduction to the topic of Criminological Psychology that helps dispel these popular myths by providing a comprehensive overview of the topic of Criminological Psychology. The book includes both classic and contemporary psychological theory and research on a range of criminological issues including the nature, measurement and causes of crime, police work and offender profiling, eye-witness memory, trial procedures, jury decision making and the treatment of crime. Putwain and Sammons have produced an introductory text which covers the material on this topic in the A2 components of the AQA-B, OCR and Edexcel A-Level specifications. Psychology and Crime is also ideal for undergraduate students looking for an introduction to criminological psychology and for students studying psychology and media. It will also be useful for those who work in fields related to criminology such as the police and probation services, social workers and therapists.

Psychology and crime
Meh. I enjoyed the first half, on formal logic and logical fallacies, but was less interested in the second, on (American) media, politics, and textbooks.
For an edition that was published in 2006, a lot of the latter type of content seemed more out of date than you'd expect in just 13 years. I know it's not the authors' fault that the media and political landscapes got so crazy so quickly, but even so. The various "political correctness gone mad" rants have dated particularly badly. Surely this:
"didn't certain Native Americans make some kind of mistake when they demonstrated during the 1995 World Series against the "demeaning symbols" used by the beloved Cleveland Indians and the Atlanta Braves?"
was already an eyebrow-raising POV in 2006? Or am I committing some kind of logical fallacy in thinking so?
There's also a section header that says "History Texts Have Gone Overboard on Multiculturalism", and some other examples of content that for me at least really detracted from the reading experience and turned it into something of a slog.
