"This incredibly rich collage of case studies should be essential reading for anyone interested in forensic practice in Canada and elsewhere. Written in an engaging style, the chapters tell the story of (in)famous cases in Canadian courts to illustrate their impact on law, while providing comprehensive reviews of research evidence, brilliant quotations, and critical thinking questions to summarize key points for the reader."--Ralph Serin, Professor of Forensic Psychology and Director of the Criminal Justice Decision-Making Laboratory, Carleton University "In Cases in Clinical Forensic Psychology, Margo Watt reviews some of Canada's most compelling contemporary criminal cases, appropriately situating them in a legal and historical context, as well as in the scientific literature. By applying a clinical forensic lens to legal issues relevant to criminal cases, including the fairness of jury trials, police investigation techniques, and multicide, this text offers unique insight into psychological aspects of crime and our legal systems. I would recommend this book to scholars and anyone interested in true crime."--Meg Ternes, Associate Professor of Forensic Psychology, Saint Mary's University "Finally, an evidence-based clinical and applied forensic psychology resource written for the Canadian context! Using real examples drawn from Canadian headlines, readers learn how psychological science has been applied in order to understand our strengths and missteps, and to correct our practices in the forensic psychology field."--Mary Ann Campbell, Professor of Psychology and Director of the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies, University of New Brunswick, Saint John Campus.
