So much has changed since then due in part to the diligent work done by Gisli H. Gudjonsson. This eyeopening book by the Icelandic\/British clinical forensic psychologist, who in the mid 1970s had worked as detective in Reykjavik, offers a complete and current analysis of how the study of the psychology of false confessions came about, including the relevant theories and empirical\/experimental evidence base. It also provides a reflective review of the gradual development of the science and how it can be applied to real life cases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on Gudjonsson's personal account of the biggest murder investigations in Iceland's history, as well as other landmark cases, \u003ci\u003eThe Psychology of False Confessions: Forty Years of Science and Practice\u003c\/i\u003e takes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Police investigators, judges, fact finders and legal practitioners must always be aware of the potential fragility of suspects’ confessions, however superficially plausible and convincing they might appear on initial consideration. This book explains why and should be mandatory reading for all professionals involved in the criminal justice system.\" —Counsel Magazine   \"The Psychology of False Confessions brings together Dr. Gudjonsson's beginnings as an Icelandic police detective and his decades as a false confession expert to unravel the tangled web that led to the conviction of these innocent young men and a woman based on their confessions alone.   There is often an uneasy relationship between psychology and criminal justice, particularly when psychology challenges such deeply entrenched beliefs as that an innocent person would never confess to a serious crime. Dr. Gudjonsson's uncompromising integrity and courage in the face of often virulent opposition have effected a major change in our thinking about police-induced confessions. This is a book to be read by anyone with an interest in psychology, law and the exoneration of the innocent.\" —Lorca Morello, July 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of

Central to this approach is the Bayes factor, which clarifies the evidential meaning of new information, by providing a measure of the change in the odds in favor of a proposition of interest, when going from the prior to the posterior distribution. Bayes factors should guide the scientist's thinking about the value of scientific evidence and form the basis of logical and balanced reporting practices, thus representing essential foundations for rational decision making under uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book would be relevant to students, practitioners, and applied statisticians interested in inference and decision analyses in the critical field of forensic science.

That is, in forensic settings, it may well be the case that a potential source (i.e., a suspect) is not available for comparative purposes, in particular in early stages of the legal process.  Notwithstanding, data and measurements on recovered material (e.g., seized on a crime scene) can be used for an investigative purpose.  In this mode of working, scientists can offer to investigative authorities (or, in a more general perspective, mandating parties) information to help discriminate between general propositions concerning, for instance, the characterizing features of the source that left the recovered material (e.g., gender, externally visible traits such as hair and eye color, handedness, etc.).  At this stage in the process, the scientist tries to help answer questions such as ‘what  happened?’ in the case under investigation, or ‘what can we infer about the offender?’. In this context, the Bayes factor can be used as a statistic to measure and help decide how to classify, for example, objects and substances on which measurements have been made. This use of the Bayes factor will be explained through practical examples involving topics such as handwriting characteristics, toner from printers in questioned document examination, drugs of abuse, toxicology, forensic anthropology and forensic DNA profiling (listing is not exhaustive and may evolve during the writing of the book).  Both univariate and multivariate data will be considered, with or without replicates, and involving different statistical distributions (i.e. Binomial, Poisson, Normal, etc.).  The examples refer to realistic forensic applications as they may be encountered in judicial contexts and the forensic practitioner’s own field of activity.  Data will be selected from published literature or from the author’s own records.  R sample code will be specified and explanations will be included on how to interpret results in context and convey their meaning appropriately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III - Bayes Factor for Evaluative Purposes\u003c\/b\u003eFocuses on the scientist’s role in a more advanced stage of the legal process.  That is, situations in which the evaluation of scientific findings will take into account a potential source of the recovered material (e.g., a suspect or an  object\/tool).  This kind of reporting is typically required when scientists need to communicate their results for use at trial.  It is of utmost importance at this juncture that scientists express the value of the observed data and findings under competing hypotheses, focusing on a potential (i.e., known) source versus an  alternative source (e.g., propositions such as ‘the recovered item comes from the same source as the control material’, and ‘the recovered item is from a source that is different from that of the control material’).  The Bayes factor is the central inferential concept for such expressions of weight of evidence.  In this part of the book, too, examples will be chosen with the intention to reflect realistic scenarios as they may arise in current judicial practice.  In particular, the outline will consider uni- and multi­-variate data from scenarios related to microtraces (e.g., glass and paint fragments), handwriting and drugs of abuse.  Besides computational R code, this chapter will also include (i) sensitivity analyses to provide readers with a means to further investigate the properties of the proposed evaluative procedures based on the Bayes factor, and (ii) decision theoretic extensions to outline how to interface expressions of weight of evidence with the broader perspective of coherent decision-making.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart IV - Conclusion\u003c\/b\u003eSummarizes the key messages developed throughout this book, emphasizing (i) the contribution of an extended use of the Bayes factor in a normative decision framework, and (ii) the role of the Bayes factor as the relevant statistic for both investigative and evaluative tasks that characterize current forensic science.","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743069352279,"sku":"9783031098383","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783031098383.jpg?v=1720063974"},{"product_id":"forty-years-of-murder-9780007291274","title":"Forty Years of Murder","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristie, Hanratty, The Krays  murderers haunt the mind.

That's not my fingerprint, your honor,said the defendant,after FBI experts reported a 100-percentidentification.The FBI was wrong. It is shocking how often they are. Autopsy of a Crime Lab is the first book to catalog the sources of error and the faulty science behind a range of well-known forensic evidence, from fingerprints and firearms to forensic algorithms. In this devastating forensic takedown, noted legal expert Brandon L. Garrett poses the questions that should be asked in courtrooms every day: Where are the studies that validatethe basic premises of widely accepted techniques such as fingerprinting? How can experts testify with 100-percentcertainty about a fingerprint, when there is no such thing as a 100 percentmatch? Where is the quality control at the crime scenes and in the laboratories? Should we so readily adopt powerful new technologies like facial recognition software and rapid DNA machines?

cases, trials rarely result in justice. Instead, the courts drag defendants, victims, and their friends and family through a confusing and protracted public spectacle. Along the way, forensic scientists, sexual assault nurse examiners, and police officers provide their insight and expertise, shaping the story that emerges for the judge and jury.

Poison was his weapon of choice. Largely forgotten today, this villain was as brazen as the notorious Jack the Ripper.   Structured around the doctor’s London murder trial in 1892, when he was finally brought to justice, The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream exposes the blind trust given to medical practitioners, as well as the flawed detection methods, bungled investigations, corrupt officials, and stifling morality of Victorian society that allowed Dr. Cream to prey on vulnerable and desperate women, many of whom had turned to him for medical help.   Dean Jobb transports readers to the late nineteenth century as Scotland Yard traces Dr. Cream’s life through Canada and Chicago and finally to London, where new investigative tools called forensics were just coming into use, even as most police departments still scoffed at using science to solve crimes. But then, most investigators could hardly imagine that serial killers existed—the term was unknown. As the Chicago Tribune wrote, Dr. Cream’s crimes marked the emergence of a new breed of killer: one who operated without motive or remorse, who “murdered simply for the sake of murder.” For fans of Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City, all things Sherlock Holmes, or the podcast My Favorite Murder, The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream is an unforgettable true crime story from a master of the genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the Most Anticipated Books of 2021:  The New York Times Book Review * BuzzFeed * CNN * CrimeReads * Book Riot   One of IndieWire's 10 Best Gifts for True Crime Fans   One of The Washington Post's \"50 Notable Works of Nonfiction\"   One of CrimeReads' \"Best True Crime Books of 2021\"    \"Jobb recounts Cream's life and evokes the societal attitudes that allowed him to kill: the blind faith placed in doctors, the power imbalance between Cream and the people who sought his care.\"   --The New York Times    \"A deeply absorbing account of the life and deeds of one of the Ripper's earliest 'successors' . . .

This book also looks at the adoption of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to generate DNA profiles from minute biological samples, and the use of mitochondrial DNA to obtain information from old bones and the applications of Y chromosomal polymorphisms in sexual assault cases. Present research focuses on genetic markers for external visible traits and on improving the utility of poor quality samples with degraded DNA. The other direction of forensic DNA research addresses the difficulty of obtaining a DNA profile in a degraded crime stain.
