Waterside Press Who Really Killed Claire?
Book SynopsisWho Really Killed Claire? re-investigates the brutal yet apparently motiveless murder of 16-year-old Claire Tiltman in Greenhithe, Kent in 1993. It describes how police investigations faltered for almost 20 years until Colin Ash-Smith, due to be released from a long prison sentence for lesser attacks on young women, was unceremoniously charged with this cold case murder. This was one of the UK's very first cases involving the use of evidence of 'bad character' under a controversial new law. Expertly researched, the book revisits the crime scene, investigation, prosecution, media frenzy and belated urgency that led to Ash-Smith's conviction before he was 'back on the street'. Meanwhile, the predatory serial killer Robert Napper was ignored, despite 'hallmarks' and correlations making him a strong suspect. Well placed to raise doubts, experienced investigator Alan Jackaman analyses the wholly circumstantial evidence and explains why he believes misplaced 'gut feelings' may have beset the entire case. Extract: 'When asked again if he had murdered Claire ... [Colin Ash-Smith] replied, "Out of all the interviews I've been in I haven't told one single lie. I can categorically say I had nothing to do with Claire's murder ...".'

Waterside Press Friendless Childhoods Explain War
Book SynopsisFriendless Childhoods Explain War uses the author's groundbreaking discoveries working with the UK's most dangerous offenders to cast an expert eye over international conflict. All such violence, he contends, is born of childhood experiences that lead to adult anger, grievance and revenge. From Toddler Thinking to Nursery Nightmares and Guff Disease the book lays bare prevailing thought on violent conflict - which should be avoided by building truth, trust and consent from an early age - not instilling seeds of hate that continue into adulthood. The author cites Mein Kampf, George Orwell, Shakespeare and his own professional records to show how negative experiences in childhood can lead to unspeakable adult acts of violence, even war. In a radical re-appraisal of the darkest side of human nature that no citizen or policymaker should ignore, he warns us that 'No-one is safe (or sane) unless we are all safe (or sane).'Trade Review'We are born loveable and peaceable as you say...

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Clinical Forensic Psychology: Introductory
Book SynopsisThis book represents a comprehensive collection of theoretical and empirical work at the nexus of clinical and forensic psychology written by world-renowned experts in the field. It is among the first books in the field to focus entirely on clinical psychological science applied to the understanding and treatment of offending. Part I addresses the main theoretical and clinical models used to explain and predict antisocial behavior, spanning biological, cognitive, experimental, individual differences, and interpersonal perspectives. Part II focuses on forms of psychopathology associated with an increased tendency to offend, with the emphasis on describing the clinical constructs most relevant for forensic psychology. Each chapter describes the clinical characteristics of one form of psychopathology, their assessment, their links with antisocial behavior, and treatment considerations. Part III focuses on different types of offense or offender groups as starting points. This perspective has relevance since many criminal justice and forensic mental health systems allocate offenders to interventions based on their index offense (or history of offenses). Finally, Part IV addresses the application of clinical psychology in the service of assessment and treatment in forensic settings. It includes the state of the art on diagnostic and risk assessment, as well as both widely used and recently developed interventions. This book is an excellent resource for students at both Bachelor’s and Master’s level, while also representing a comprehensive handbook for experienced researchers and practitioners.Table of ContentsSeries Editors PrefaceEditors Preface1.

Springer International Publishing AG Ted Bundy and The Unsolved Murder Epidemic: The
Book SynopsisThis book revisits the life and crimes of Ted Bundy. It seeks to reconcile the contradictions and controversies about his life that underscore the broader US unsolved murder problem, one that is estimated at between 250,000 to 350,000 open, unresolved, or cold cases. The incidence of crime is far greater than is captured by official statistics; most offenses are never detected, a concept known as the dark figure of crime which is explored here. Drawing on 25 years of practitioner, research, and consultant experiences with the most violent criminals, this book offers solutions toward clearing the current backlog of unsolved murders in the United States many of which were never reported and disproportionately perpetrated by offenders like Bundy. This compelling book speaks to students, academics and readers interested in true crime, serial murder, homicide and criminal justice.

Springer International Publishing AG Durchführung von Miranda-Evaluierungen:
Book SynopsisThis innovative book provides both the conceptual framework and clinical methods needed to appropriately handle problems that arise in the administration of Miranda warnings and waivers. Largely overlooked for decades, Miranda rights have been compromised in multiple ways, and in millions of cases. For example, each year, thousands of adult arrestees with intellectual disabilities or severe mental disorders waive their rights with markedly impaired Miranda understanding and reasoning. This also applies to thousands of developmentally immature juvenile detainees, who are often provided with complex warnings far beyond their comprehension levels. Addressing this continued crisis, Conducting Miranda Evaluations presents balanced and empirically based guidelines for conducting forensic assessments and communicating their empirical conclusions to the legal community. This book provides psychologists, and related professionals with the essential forensic and legal knowledge for carrying out evaluations of both Miranda comprehension and waiver-relevant reasoning.Dieses innovative Buch bietet sowohl den konzeptionellen Rahmen als auch die klinischen Methoden, die erforderlich sind, um Probleme, die bei der Verwaltung von Miranda-Warnungen und Verzichtserklärungen auftreten, angemessen zu behandeln. Die Miranda-Rechte, die jahrzehntelang weitgehend übersehen wurden, sind auf vielfältige Weise und in Millionen von Fällen beeinträchtigt worden. So verzichten beispielsweise jedes Jahr Tausende von erwachsenen Festgenommenen mit geistigen Behinderungen oder schweren psychischen Störungen auf ihre Rechte, ohne dass sie die Miranda-Belehrung richtig verstanden haben und vernünftig denken können. Dies gilt auch für Tausende von entwicklungsgestörten jugendlichen Häftlingen, die oft mit komplexen Warnungen konfrontiert werden, die sie bei weitem nicht verstehen. Conducting Miranda Evaluations (Miranda-Bewertungen durchführen) stellt ausgewogene und empirisch fundierte Richtlinien für die Durchführung forensischer Bewertungen und die Vermittlung ihrer empirischen Schlussfolgerungen an die juristische Gemeinschaft vor, um dieser anhaltenden Krise zu begegnen. Dieses Buch vermittelt Psychologen und verwandten Berufsgruppen die wesentlichen forensischen und juristischen Kenntnisse für die Durchführung von Beurteilungen sowohl des Miranda-Verständnisses als auch der für den Verzicht relevanten Argumentation.Table of ContentsKapitel 1.

Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers Recht Und Psychologie: Gelebtes Recht ALS Objekt
Book SynopsisDieses Buch befasst sich mit der Rechtspsychologie und ihren unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen. Einerseits geht es um die Psychologie des Rechts, die sich in einem Naheverhältnis zur Rechtsphilosophie und zur Rechtssoziologie befindet, und andererseits um die Psychologie im Dienst der Rechtspflege, die als angewandte Psychologie methodisch bei den Naturwissenschaften ressortiert. Folgt man dem Begründer der modernen wissenschaftlichen Psychologie, Wilhelm Wundt, so stehen am Beginn sämtlicher rechtspsychologischer Bemühungen zunächst einmal die Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften und natürlich auch die Jurisprudenz und das Recht. So kommen in diesem Band denn auch soziologische und sozialphilosophische Beiträge, Beiträge zur qualitativ und hermeneutisch arbeitenden Psychologie des Rechts, aber auch Beiträge zur quantitativ und naturwissenschaftlich arbeitenden Psychologie im Dienst der Rechtspflege zum Zug. Den Kreis zur Rechtspsychologie als Kulturwissenschaft schliessen Beiträge zu den Besonderheiten einzelner Rechtskulturen. Das Werk ist aus Anlass seines 70sten Geburtstags eine Festgabe für Manfred Rehbinder, Prof. emeritus und Direktor des Europäischen Instituts für Rechtspsychologie in Zürich.

Verlag Peter Lang Psychotherapie Und Seelsorge Im Strafvollzug:
Book SynopsisReligiöse Themen sind omnipräsent in der Seelsorge im Strafvollzug. Zunehmende Säkularisierung und Multireligiosität verhelfen diesem Umstand zu wachsender Aktualität. Dieses Buch befasst sich mit Unterschieden und Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen Psychotherapie und Seelsorge im Strafvollzug; es fragt nach der Rolle des Psychotherapeuten und nach jener des Seelsorgers und beleuchtet die Problematik entsprechend aus einerseits psychotherapeutischer, andererseits seelsorgerlicher Perspektive. Aus psychotherapeutischer Sicht untersucht der Autor die Relevanz religiöser Themen in der forensischen Psychotherapie. Die Religiosität der Klienten markiert dabei einen Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung: Wie können Klienten religiöse Themen als Ressource nutzen? Aus seelsorgerlicher Perspektive wird erörtert, inwiefern Seelsorge einen Beitrag zur Senkung des Rückfallrisikos leisten kann.

Birkhauser Verlag AG Voyeurism: A Case Study
Book SynopsisThis book is amongst the first of its kind in presenting a case study of voyeurism from a forensic psychology perspective and within the societal context. Simon Duff provides an in-depth description of the assessment, formulation, and treatment of a voyeur and offers a theoretical basis for the behaviour. The book begins by covering a variety of explanations and previous treatments for voyeurs, including learning theories and the aversive treatments that they give rise to. It then moves on to focus on one specific case study, a young man who has exhibited diversity in his voyeuristic offending, before examining relevant details of his experiences in order to develop a formulation of his thinking and behaviour. The formulation and resultant intervention are clearly and accessibly presented, followed by a discussion of how this case provides direction for further research, developments in our theoretical basis for understanding voyeurism, and directions for assessment and intervention.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction.- Chapter 2 Voyeurism in context.- Chapter 3 Voyeurism.- Chapter 4 Explanations of voyeurism.- Chapter 5 Approaches to treatment.- Chapter 6 The case study: KS.- Chapter 7 Clinical analysis and formulation.- Chapter 8 Intervention.- Chapter 9 Outcomes and discussion.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Schlüsselerfahrungen: Supervision im
Book SynopsisEs gibt keinen Ort, an dem der Schlüssel so klar den Umgang mit Macht symbolisiert wie das Gefängnis. Unter welchen Bedingungen kann an diesem Ort ein Zusammenspiel von Strafe und Therapie, von Anpassung und Selbstverantwortung gelingen, um die Insassen in einem straffreien Leben zu unterstützen? In Einrichtungen der Justiz, die neben dem Vollzug von Strafe, auch Therapie realisieren sollen, arbeiten therapeutische Teams in einem Spannungsfeld, dem unter anderem Jurisprudenz, Psychologie und Pädagogik angehören. Sie werden nicht nur mit schwierigen Insassen, sondern auch mit Bedingungen konfrontiert, die sich aus strukturellen Widersprüchen der Institution ergeben. Soll das Projekt der Resozialisierung greifen, muss das Zusammenspiel von Therapie und Strafe gewährleistet, müssen die jeweiligen Perspektiven aufeinander bezogen und miteinander in Einklang gebracht werden. Erfolgreiche Supervision in sozialtherapeutischen Abteilungen des Strafvollzugs bedeutet, so Franziska Lamott, die gesellschaftliche Funktion der Institution zu kennen, ihre strukturellen Widersprüche wahrzunehmen, heftige Emotionen und psychosoziale Abwehrstrategien zu erfassen sowie die Energie und Ausdauer aufzubringen, gemeinsam Wege zu finden, auf denen sich die komplexen Aufgaben des Teams in Balance halten lassen.

Once social-psychological profiles were established, terrorist risk assessment tools were developed to allow for better observation and practical management of associated problems.This book fills the gaps in existing literature on the psychology of imprisoned terrorist group leaders through the analysis of individuals' social, professional and personal lives, as well as their attitudes and perceptions. The book also covers the practical aspects of risk assessment based on social-psychological profiling, and discusses relevant tools that have been developed in recent years. It aims to better inform counter-terrorism initiatives and policymaking, as well as improve methods of communication, counter-terrorism, and conflict resolution.
