Psychology And Crime News

This blawg "is a place to collate information of interest in a forensic psychological context. I hope that anyone who is interested in keeping up with developments in psychology in a forensic context, and practical forensic developments that may have psychological relevance will find this service useful, although it is aimed primarily at an academic audience. Because I am based in the U.K., many of the reports tend to have a U.K. focus."
