Research output: Contribution to journalEditorialpeer-review

Abstract

In this introduction to the forum, we consider the conceptual and historical context in which psychologists decide when (or whether) their research results are ready for use in the justice system. Topics covered in the forum include the accuracy of police officers when they are crime witnesses; research on eyewitness identifications; and studies of lie detection and interrogation procedures.
