This carefully revised third edition of Criminal Psychology offers a vital, up-to-date account of the wide range of psychological contributions to the understanding of criminals and crime, its investigation, the legal processes of dealing with offenders, and helping victims.The book provides insights into cognitive, developmental, and social theories of a diverse range of crimes, including domestic abuse, burglary, fraud, rape, murder, and terrorism. It also discusses the psychological contributions to policing, criminal investigations, and court processes, and gives consideration to securing reliable testimony and rehabilitation in prisons. The third edition complements the topics established in earlier editions with the addition of current and emerging issues in the study of criminal psychology, including cybercrime, new forms of fraud, and developments in organised crime, as well as the future of crimes and their psychology. The well-illustrated text is packed with pedagogical features that bring this fascinating subject to life, including boxes highlighting key topics, descriptions of research methods, further reading, and suggested essay titles.Offering a comprehensive, accessible, contemporary introduction, the book shows that many aspects of psychology are essential for understanding criminals and their actions, the investigation of crime, and court procedures. This is the ideal text for students across psychology, criminology, socio-legal studies, and law, as well as everyone who wishes to gain an overview of criminal psychology.

This series is published in two formats, providing flexibility and choice to suit the teacher's needs. There are six modules per year or seperate year-based textbooks containing the six units. Each year's work is also supported by a set of copymasters and a teacher's guide. Each topic in the modules is dealt with in an easy-to-follow, concise manner, making it ideal for all pupils whatever their reading age. Presentation is based around a theme, with simple text and illustrated step-by-step guides to experiments. Trials have shown how efective this style of presentation is with pupils of all abilities.

The revised editions of "Science at Work" have been prepared following changes to the National Curriculum at 14-16 and to the GCSE Science syllabuses. The materials continue to match both the SEG and ULEAC Modular Science syllabuses. The students' books are clearly set out so that it is immediately obvious to the student which pages involve activities and which involve information. Black-and-white line drawings provide students with clear images of what should be happening in each activity. Colour illustrations provide the clear detail required to reinforce the ideas being discussed.

Science at Work 14-16: Energy in Action (Science at Work - National Curriculum Edition)

Chosen from the author's personal collection of over 1000 photos of the Tralee &amp; Dingle, these black and white pictures capture the irrepressible nature of this much loved Irish narrow gauge railway, including cattle fairs, overgrown permanent ways and derailments. The photos follow the line from Tralee out to Dingle with separate sections thereafter on the locomotives and rolling stock. A wonderful reference work for modelers. With map, gradient profile and bibliography. 96 pages.
