Modern Psychology for Lawyers

Contemporary forensic psychology is characterized by a tort-specific approach. Instead of general, universal accounts of perpetrators, crimes and their victims, the study and research of specific areas of crime has been promoted for several years. And that is why doc. PhDr. Ludmila Čírtková, CSc., focused in her new book, among other things, on new findings and open questions about domestic violence and stalking. It takes note of multiple killers or animal cruelty, brings contemporary views of forensic psychology to these phenomena and gives their psychological interpretation. It focuses in particular on selected groups of socially pathological phenomena or offences.
