Acknowledgments
This textbook could not have been written without the thoughtful, diligent, and
insightful assistance of many students. One of the pleasures of higher education is
that faculty get to learn from those who we teach. From the inception of this project
in 1996 to its present-day from, I have gained considerably from countless students.
The individuals with whom I have worked contributed substantially to the research,
drafting, and editing of this book. In many ways, Introduction to Forensic Psychology:
Issues and Controversies in Crime and Justice is a collaboration. I am eternally grateful
to my (student) colleagues. Participants in this project include those listed below.
