Product description

Review

'The great strength of this book is that it covers a broad spectrum of topics and real cases in a way that will be of great interest to students of forensic psychology, criminology, police work and all other related disciplines.'Elizabeth Noon'A good review of the field of forensic psychology, it will certainly help aspiring students with writing their essays and get excited as they do so. In a crowded world this one stands out.'Mike Berry

About the Author

Helen Gavin was, before retiring in 2023, Subject Lead in Criminal Psychology at the University of Huddersfield, having previously been Head of Psychology at two universities. She taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses in this area, and now carries out research that focuses on deviant and homicidal sexual expression. She is currently collaborating with researchers and practitioners across the UK and in the USA, concerned with projects in female aggression, non-apprehended offenders, and issues concerning policing. She has supervised a number of research students, some of whom have investigated female aggression and psychopathy, the effect of childhood abuse, witchcraft and child homicide, sexual assault in hidden populations, traumatic incidents experienced by police officers, characteristics of homicide, sexual deviancy and disgust responses, and incarcerated sex offenders.

Previous books include Women and the Abuse of Power (Emerald), Understanding Research Methods and Statistics in Psychology (Sage), The Essence of Cognitive Psychology (Prentice-Hall), and Sex Drugs and Rock & Roll: Psychological, Legal, and Cultural Examinations of Sex and Sexuality (ID-Net Press). She has also contributed chapters to over a dozen edited books, and published widely in forensic and medical journals. Helen feels that studying criminal psychology can make one lose a sense of perspective, so she also studies cultural issues such as music and fairy tales, both of which, she has discovered, have a dark side.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I am now retired from being a lecturer at a Yorkshire university, but continue to write - it's a bad habit. I have always examined the dark side of life, making people regret looking over my shoulder to see what I am reading, or, indeed, writing. We live in a village where, when it's not foggy, raining, snowing, or generally inclement, the view is magnificent. One husband, one stepson, and several (male) cats means being starved of female company, one of the very good reasons to continue to make music.
