This edited book describes a number of projects and psychological services delivered in the community with justice-involved individuals and to forensic systems. Nearly all of these projects and services are outside the traditional scope of forensic psychology and correctional psychology. They offer a vision for the future of these areas as well as broadening awareness of what these services and projects are actually providing. Four domains are described: assessment, intervention, consultation, and education. Within those domains, the chapters cover university-based forensic assessment; intersectional identity in forensic assessment; trauma-informed assessment; school threat assessment; specialized measure development; Cognitive Therapy—Rehabilitation (CT-R), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma treatment with justice-involved individuals; developing a specialized program for intervention; forensic and law enforcement consultation; cross-systems mapping; treatment court development; innovative approaches to juvenile probation and parole; specialized doctoral, internship, and postdoctoral training; policy research and education; trauma-informed training of correctional officers; expert witness training; and developing and operating a company focused on risk appraisal of violence and other adverse outcomes in organizational contexts. Contributors are leaders in the field, providing detailed information about the development and delivery of their innovations and providing a model for students, trainees, practitioners, clinical administrators, and others interested in work in this area.

This book delivers a comprehensive examination of contemporary issues at the intersection of psychology and law, reflecting the latest advancements and research in these critical fields. Authored by leading experts, it offers in-depth insights into key topics, including police use of force, hate crimes, and forensic assessments, making it an essential resource for practitioners, researchers, and policymakers. Key highlights include: The impact of psychological research on legal processes and decision-making. Current trends in understanding and addressing police use of force. Insights into the rising prevalence and complexity of hate crimes. This book's authoritative content, grounded in the latest empirical evidence, makes it indispensable for professionals in psychology, law, criminal justice, and public policy. It's also a valuable tool for educators and students aiming to stay abreast of the rapidly evolving landscape of forensic psychology.

The field of psychology-law is extremely broad, encompassing a strikingly large range of topic areas in both applied psychology and experimental psychology. Despite the continued and rapid growth of the field, there is no current and comprehensive resource that provides coverage of the major topic areas in the psychology-law field. The Oxford Handbook of Psychology and Law is an up-to-date, scholarly, and comprehensive volume that provides broad coverage of psychology-law topics. The field of psychology-law can be broadly divided into applied and experimental domains. Whereas applied specialties in psychology, such as clinical, counseling, neuropsychology, and school, are typically grounded in the scientist-practitioner model that emphasizes both research and the provision of clinical services (e.g., assessment, therapy), experimental psychology focuses almost exclusively on conducting empirical research grounded in theories from areas such as cognitive, developmental, and social psychology. Importantly, both applied and experimental psychologists have made meaningful contributions to the psychology-law field, and each of these domains of the psychology-law field includes a range of well-developed topic areas with robust empirical support. This book provides comprehensive coverage of applied and experimental topic areas, with chapters written by a diverse group of well-established psychology-law scholars and emerging future leaders.

This text provides detailed information about successful collaborations between universities and public behavioral health organizations in criminal justice contexts. The authors begin by introducing the relevant purpose and definitions and then describe each of the nine contributed chapters to follow. Each of these chapters describes a particular collaboration between a university and a public behavioral health organization. Each chapter is structured around a description of the collaboration's purposes, beginning, leadership, who is served, services, operations, effectiveness measurement, financial arrangements, and lessons learned.
