New Frontiers in Forensic Psychology
About the Book Series
New Frontiers in Forensic Psychology brings together contemporary, cutting-edge research in core and emerging topics, to present new and original areas of investigation at the forefront of 21st century forensic psychology theory, policy, and practice.
We welcome proposals in all areas of forensic psychology - especially those bringing a fresh perspective on traditional lines of enquiry, or innovative and novel perspectives that are excluded from the main discourse.
Equity, diversity, and inclusion are embedded within each book in this series, which is underpinned by a values-based approach to forensic psychology and its applications.
