Uniquely designed to train psychology, criminology, and social work students to work with children in the criminal justice system--both in the courtroom and as clinical clients--Forensic Child Psychology presents current research and practice-based knowledge to improve the judicial and child welfare systems. Authors Matthew Fanetti, William T. O'Donohue, Rachel N. Happel, and Kresta N.
