Reports on forensic psychiatric and psychological research address symbolic communication between judge and attorney, the rights of minors, juvenile treatment methods, recall under hypnosis, voice identification, document origin, and biological influences in criminality. |
| Abstract:
|
One study analyzes status and communication patterns by framing judicial behavior toward attorneys in relation to status and solidarity norms, and another paper historically reviews laws and policies bearing on children's rights, particularly in the juvenile justice system. A report describes the criminal personality theory and its operationalization in a program for violent juvenile offenders. Reported research also measured eyewitness recall under hypnosis. Problems in identifying persons from voice prints and attempts to solve them are examined, as are efforts to identify document origin from content analysis. Four papers focus on studies of biological factors in criminality. These papers expose the flawed reasoning and research of those who have maintained a direct causal relation between biological characteristics and criminal behavior. Hooton's research in this area is critiqued in detail. Chapter references as well as author and subject indexes. |
