Download or read book Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology written by Bernat-N. Tiffon and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-04-04 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in Spanish in 2017 by Libreria Bosch, Barcelona, the Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology is a one-of-kind book made available in English for the first time. This unique work is highly illustrated with full-color images, providing a medico-legal examination of forensic pathology as it relates to cases of forensic psychological interest. The book begins with a historical perspective and includes images of patients to familiarize the reader with symptoms, the hazard-risk criteria, lethality, and suicidal rescue—research that Dr. Tiffon has addressed in his previous publications. Chapters present photographic records of cases to deepen forensic, psychologist, and medico-legal professionals’ insight into thoughts, behaviors, and mechanisms of self- and hetero-aggressiveness. Such cases illustrate the outcomes of various disorders manifested in individuals and victims; as such, they provide an understanding of the psychological-legal conclusions reached in such cases in order to adapt the legal and preventative measures for specific situations. Coverage includes affective, schizophrenic, and personality disorders as contributing elements in diagnostic judgments, noting the great difficulty such examples present to experts performing psychopathological evaluations after criminal, and often violent, events have occurred. Various psychopathological disorders are addressed as well as the technical treatment that should occur in each case from a psychological-forensic perspective. Features: • Presents a provocative look at various syndromes familiar to forensic psychologists, as applied to criminal cases and the pathology of suicide victims and homicide perpetrators • Combines the work of world-renowned expert contributors to examine the criminal, legal, and psychological facets of various diagnoses and case examples • Offers insight into the psychological state of suicide victims, considering their state of mind as a "psychological autopsy" In his previous books published in Spanish, Manual of Consulting in Psychology and Clinical, Legal, Legal, Criminal, and Forensic Psychopathology (2008), Manual of Professional Performance in Clinical, Criminal, and Forensic Psychopathology (2009), and the 4-volume Practical Criminological Atlas of Forensic Psychometry (2019-2020), Tiffon approached forensic psychology and psychopathology from a theoretical perspective. In the Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology, his first book translated into English, Tiffon expands on these prior works, serving to provide a visual reference and guide to medical pathologists and consulting psychologists in cases of disorders in which psychopathological mutilation, injury, and self-injury occur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La psicología jurídica y forense se ha convertido en una disciplina con un elevado grado de especialización dentro de la psicología. En la actualidad, cuenta con un corpus conceptual y metodológico propio, albergando un gran número de campos teóricos y áreas de aplicación. Todos ellos tienen la apasionante y complicada tarea de abordar las relaciones del comportamiento humano dentro del contexto jurídico-legal. La presente obra se compone de dos volúmenes: el primero compila aquellos contenidos introductorios de la psicología jurídica que incluyen algunos conceptos básicos del derecho, así como contenidos de la psicología más relacionados con los procedimientos y métodos que el psicólogo especialista en esta área de conocimiento debe manejar; el segundo volumen contiene los contenidos dedicados a los principales campos de aplicación. El volumen 1, que presentamos a continuación, se estructura en diez capítulos. El primero se ocupa de contenidos introductorios de la psicología jurídica y forense; y los dos siguientes tratan aspectos legales básicos: el segundo, cuestiones relativas al derecho penal, civil y laboral; y el tercer capítulo, aspectos legales propios de la organización de la justicia y la prueba pericial. Los siguientes capítulos tratan temas más directamente relacionados con la psicología en el ámbito propiamente jurídico y forense; principalmente, contenidos metodológicos y procedimentales, y herramientas aplicadas. Todas ellas con un importante carácter transversal a las diferentes áreas y campos de actuación de los psicólogos jurídicos y forenses. En concreto, se incluye un capítulo sobre la evaluación psicológica en el ámbito forense (Capítulo 4), el testimonio (Capítulo 5), el informe pericial (Capítulo 6), la entrevista cognitiva (Capítulo 7), la simulación (Capítulo 8), y sobre métodos alternativos en la solución de conflictos y mediación (Capítulo 9). Finalmente, el capítulo 10 se dedica a los principios éticos y deontológicos propios de la práctica pericial que todo profesional en este ámbito debe considerar. El conjunto de todos estos capítulos tiene la intención de ofrecer una actualización de los principales contenidos de la psicología jurídica y forense que puedan ser de utilidad tanto para los psicólogos cuya actividad profesional se desarrolla en este ámbito, como para estudiantes y juristas que quieran aproximarse a esta disciplina y profundizar en la misma para mejorar su formación o adquirir una mayor especialización. El lector podrá complementar este volumen, dedicado fundamentalmente a los aspectos conceptuales y metodológicos básicos y transversales, con la lectura y estudio de los contenidos de un segundo volumen con contenidos aplicados a las diferentes áreas y ámbitos de actuación de la psicología jurídica y forense. La psicología jurídica y forense, aunque tiene unos fundamentos conceptuales y teóricos procedentes de las disciplinas jurídica y psicológica es un ámbito principalmente aplicado. En la actualidad, las áreas de aplicación de la psicología jurídica son numerosas dentro del ámbito del derecho civil y de familia, derecho penal, derecho laboral y penitenciario, y de los menores. En todas ellas, existen subáreas de actuación práctica en la que el psicólogo puede llegar a tener un desempeño como forense. En el presente volumen, que constituye la segunda parte del Manual de Psicología Jurídica y Forense, se presentan algunos de los principales campos de aplicación práctica de esta disciplina y sirve de complemento al primero, principalmente dedicado a contenidos conceptuales y procedimentales básicos. El volumen consta de ocho capítulos que muestran, desde una perspectiva aplicada, el papel del psicólogo y de la psicóloga en diferentes campos jurídicos: uno dedicado al derecho de familia (Capítulo 1), otro a la neuropsicología forense en los ámbitos civil y criminal (Capítulo 2), tres al derecho penal (Capítulos 3, 4 y 5), uno al laboral (Capítulo 6), otro al penitenciario (Capítulo 7) y, finalmente, uno más dedicado al ámbito de los menores (Capítulo 8). Los capítulos referidos al derecho penal, abordan temas tales como la imputabilidad (Capítulo 3), la delincuencia y criminalidad (Capítulo 4), y las lesiones psíquicas y secuelas emocionales en víctimas (Capítulo 5). En cada uno de los capítulos se recogen una serie de contenidos que, consideramos, todo psicólogo jurídico y forense ha de tener en cuenta para poder ejercer adecuadamente sus funciones. Para ello, se ha tratado de dar a los capítulos una orientación eminentemente práctica y aplicada en los diversos contextos profesionales que se abordan. Esperamos que el material que aquí presentamos constituya, junto con el volumen I de esta obra, una ayuda básica para la actualización del quehacer del psicólogo jurídico y forense en su práctica profesional. Psicólogos, estudiantes, juristas y cualquier profesional que ejerza en este ámbito podrá encontrar también en estas líneas la posibilidad de aproximarse a esta disciplina y/o profundizar en la misma para mejorar su formación o adquirir una mayor especialización. Es el deseo de sus editores, así como de los autores participantes que se han esmerado en la preparación cuidadosa de sus contenidos, que este manual sea una fuente no solo de aprendizaje sino también de disfrute para todos sus lectores.

Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Global Rehabilitation in Criminal Justice written by Maurice Vanstone and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a unique overview of rehabilitation as practiced internationally in criminal justice. Through the contributions of a diverse group that includes, among others, academics (some of whom are former practitioners), research students, a judge, and a probation chief, it reflects common features of criminal justice in different countries and documents their diversity and celebrates their vitality. In recent times the idea of ‘law and order’ has been expropriated by populist, authoritarian and doctrinaire regimes, almost always and nearly everywhere in the service of arbitrary and unjust rule. By and large this handbook does not include such regimes. But ‘law’ itself also has the capacity to constrain rulers, and ‘order’ in the form of social peace is a universally approved civic asset. In part, the book provides a counter-narrative demonstrating that although criminal justice dispositions such as probation, prisons, and parole can be represented as a ‘via dolorosa’, rehabilitation as illustrated in these pages can become a journey that leads by degrees towards the possibility of a better life. The handbook will be of interest to students, academics, practitioners, managers, policy makers and all those who wish to gain insight into the why and the how of rehabilitation in criminal justice systems across the world.

Download or read book Criminology and Criminal Policy Movements written by Eugenio Raúl Zaffaroni and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These studies recover the historical roots of thinking that are in conflict with, and critical of, present-day tendencies. Criminological theory over the last few decades has oscillated between extremes: on one side there are calls for increasing the state exercise of punitive power as the only means of providing security, in the face of both urban and international rime; while the other side highlights the need for reducing the exercise of punitive power because of the paradoxical effects that it produces. Useful for academics, practitioners, professionals and students, this book will certainly contribute to a wider awareness in crime prevention and criminal justice."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book The Serial Killer Files written by Paul Simpson and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many myths about serial killers: that they are all dysfunctional loners; all white males; only motivated by sex; that they all travel and operate across a wide area; cannot stop killing; are all insane, or evil geniuses; and that they all want to get caught. Of course, there are some serial killers who fit into these categories, but the married Green River Killer was not a dysfunctional loner; there are plenty of female and non-Caucasian serial killers; Dr Harold Shipman was certainly not motivated by sex; many serial killings (such as the Ipswich prostitute murders carried out by Steve Wright) happen within a confined area; the 'BTK Killer', Dennis Rader, stopped killing in 1991, but wasn't caught until fourteen years later. Many serial killers may have a low animal cunning, or be 'street smart', but few of them are Mensa-level geniuses. Each of the thirty cases covered here is unusual in some respect, perhaps in the way in which the killer carried out their crimes, the choice of victims, the way in which they were apprehended, or the method of their execution. The cases are presented alphabetically by country - from Australia via Colombia, Great Britain, Indonesia, Iran, South Africa and elsewhere to the United States - and then chronologically. They come from across history and from all over the world. The author has gone back as far as possible to contemporary source material - newspaper accounts, trial evidence, interviews with perpetrators or survivors - rather than rely on the increasingly blurred truth to be found online and in far too many collections.

This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrepreneurial ecosystems involve a complex synergy of factors, including social and structural changes that are frequently cumulative within territories, promoting the improvement of citizens’ quality of life and higher development levels. Further, dynamic territories are characterized by constant change, activity and progress. Each chapter in this volume examines a specific entrepreneurial ecosystem in an effort to describe why and how certain companies and organizations manage to overcome adversities and achieve strong performance, while others fail. Unlike the conventional focus, the volume examines microenterprises and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), while also discussing selected experiences and case studies from developed and developing countries alike.
