Detailed Information on Publication Record

The publication presents the three psychological pillars of criminology for a wide range of readers from the fields of law, police and security. The book draws attention to the fact that crime needs to be looked at from the point of view of different disciplines simultaneously. Crime cannot be viewed only from the point of view of criminology separately from criminology, psychology, sociology or penology. The publication first focuses on the search for the intersection between criminology and forensic psychology and the question of the contents of the activities of the criminal police and investigations. Furthermore, the publication deals with the three psychological pillars already mentioned – memory, attention and thinking. In each of the chapters, the authors address the question: What knowledge from the field of psychology in relation to memory, attention and thinking does a criminologist need to know when performing his practice?
