Current Edition

Volume 41, 2010: Contemporary Issues in Law and Psychology

Guest Editors:  Gareth Norris, Department of Law and Criminology, Aberystwyth University (ggn@aber.ac.uk), Zoë Walkington, Department of Psychology, Sheffield Hallam University (z.walkington@hallam.ac.uk)

The increasing complexities of the legal system, especially in criminal trials, have brought about an increased interaction between the law and other disciplines. Psychology in particular has a long history of forensic application, for example, in the areas of eyewitness testimony and courtroom behaviour. This edition will introduce and discuss some of the contemporary issues that are emerging in the interface between these two disciplines, with contributions covering areas such as ethical guidelines for expert witnesses, the impact of opinion evidence, and the influence of the media on large public trials. Each paper will aim to address the current legal context of the topic and outline the impact of psychological research and discourse in future development and practice.
