“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"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“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“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'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.' -
