{"product_id":"the-verdict-of-the-court-jenny-mcewan-9781901362534","title":"The Verdict of the Court: Passing Judgment in Law and Psychology","description":"Courts are constantly required to know how people think. They may have to decide what a specific person was thinking on a past occasion; how others would have reacted to a particular situation; or whether a witness is telling the truth. Be they judges, jurors or magistrates, the law demands they penetrate human consciousness. This book questions whether the  arm-chair psychology' operated by fact-finders, and indeed the law itself, in its treatment of the fact-finders, bears any resemblance to the knowledge derived from psychological research. Comparing psychological theory with court verdicts in both civil and criminal contexts, it assesses where the separation between law and science is most acute, and most dangerous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenny McEwan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1901362531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781901362534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Jenny McEwan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47203051143423,"sku":"9781901362534","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b04ff9a-901f-42b0-bd96-fdb655ca9bcb.jpg?v=1756834178","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-verdict-of-the-court-jenny-mcewan-9781901362534","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
