✦ Synopsis

Many aspects of Investigative Psychology are fi nding their way directly into legal proceedings. This includes issues such as 'offender profi les' or 'linkage analysis' used by the defence or the prosecution, challenges to the veracity of testimony, including eyewitness testimony or commentary on the interview procedures that witnesses experienced. Explorations of what it is likely that witnesses may be able to remember or may have falsely been encouraged to think they remember are also relevant. In recognition of these important developments of the fi eld, original articles, including quantitative or qualitative studies, case studies, or careful critical reviews, dealing with any aspects of Investigative Psychology that have been or could be relevant to legal proceedings in civil or criminal cases, employment tribunals or other quasi-legal contexts are welcome.
