Customer Rating:  
Summary: Very technical but really good information
Comment: I believe that this book it would be more help for lawyers more than for Forensics Investigators. It gives you a very good explanation about everything, but at the sametime it is very technical. Lots of law-alike terms and language.
Overall it is a good book, but it can be boring sometimes.
Customer Rating:
Summary: AWESOME book
Comment: This is an excellent resource for anyone venturing into the forensic psychology field; I am in a graduate program and enjoy its use through my classes, but would have enjoyed it equally in undergraduate courses. A must have for someone who is unsure of whether or not to enter into this field; it outlines all of the pertinent tasks of the forensic psychologist. Well-written and chock full of information.

Summary: very good
Comment: who am i to be providing a review of weiner and hess? the 2 previous reviews were on the second edition, which, i agree, was probably "4 stars". the editors and authors of the individual chapters did an excellent job and the third edition is, in my opinion, an excellent improvement over the second edition. they have updated some information, providing greater necessary detail. most chapters read quite well. while no text can ever be comprehensive, i would like to have seen separate chapters on basic law, applications of psychology to disability law, miranda waivers, and contributions of psychology to public policy and legislation. to be fair, few forensic psychology texts cover all of these. while most chapters did a very good job of summarizing the topic and relevant research, i did not feel that this was a "how to" manual. it provides much of the background information necessary in the practice of forensic psychology that is useful for the clinician. so, i think that this is a very good book, overall, for students of forensic psychology as well as for the practicing forensic psychologist to have in his/her library for easy reference. there are a few areas where coverage nicely augments goldstein and weiner's handbook and melton et al.'s psychological evaluations for the courts. in my opinion, a nice addition to the literature.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Informative
Comment: This book is very informative and you MUST own it if you are considering working in a field related to forensic psychology. Many of the chapters are well written and concise. However watch out for a few portions of the book--namely Chapters 12, 13, and 14. The authors of these chapters did a terrible job--you may need additional resources to understand the concepts. But overall this book is very good and (generally-speaking) easy to understand.
