"In these terrific volumes many of the world’s most renowned
eyewitness-memory researchers describe the state of the science in
a wide variety of domains….they should appeal to a wide audience,
from cognitive and social psychologists to legal scholars to those
working on the front lines of forensics and the courts." - D.
Stephen Lindsay, University of Victoria, Canada"The Handbook of
Eyewitness Psychology provides two authoritative volumes by leaders
in this field of research. The volumes concentrate on Memory for
Events (I) and Memory for People (II), providing thorough coverage
of a huge range of topics. This is an important work, and it
belongs on the shelves not only of psychologists interested in
these topics, but also in police departments and in the offices of
judges, prosecutors and defense lawyers. The issues surrounding
eyewitness testimony are crucial in the criminal justice system and
the current pair of volumes provides complete, authoritative and
timely contributions." - Henry L. Roediger, III, Washington
University in St. Louis, USA"These are landmark and long overdue
volumes…every law enforcement official, every forensic expert,
every judge, every criminal and civil trial lawyer will need to
have a copy of them on their bookshelves." - Neil Vidmar, Duke
University, School of Law, USA"In the last 30 years researchers
around the world have conducted thousands of studies designed to
increase our understanding of eyewitness psychology. Indeed, this
is one of the ‘hottest’ topics in the whole of psychology. Yet in
the last ten years very few comprehensive overviews of this
increasingly large topic have been published, even though it is of
great interest not only to psychologists but to lawyers, police
officers and many other professionals…This Handbook provides very
exciting and extremely comprehensive yet detailed reviews of dozens
of highly relevant issues. The chapter authors are the leading
experts in the world, drawn from several countries. No other books
on this crucial topic have been so substantial. It is a ‘must read’
for anybody with an interest in eyewitnesses." - Ray Bull,
University of Leicester, UK"To Tell the Truth and Nothing but the
Truth... It's Terrific! ... an exhilaratingly satisfying and
extremely valuable work that should be in every research library
and in the personal book collection of anyone interested in
eyewitness psychology or other practical applications of how people
remember social events and the people involved in them... a
thorough, expert, and well-written compendium of the field." -
Maureen O'Sullivan, PsycCRITIQUES"...a splendid two-volume survey
of the state of the art of contemporary eyewitness research...
These immaculately edited volumes are a treasure house of
contemporary forensic research and thinking which no researcher or
serious student of psychology and law can afford to neglect." -
Graham Davies, University of Leicester, UK
