This volume offers a selection of the lectures delivered at the 1995 EAPL Conference in Budapest. The chapters demonstrate current results in the research and practice of judicial psychology. The findings are useful both for researchers and practising psychologists and address the most significant areas of judicial psychology: the problems of witness testimony; the psychological aspect of decision making in the court; the characteristics and treatment of offenders; the psychological impacts of prisons on prisoners; victimization; crime and public; and the history and prospects of this relatively new and complex science. For the first time the European Association of Psychology and Law organized its conference in a country of central-eastern Europe; consequently, this volume contains several articles on the scientific findings of psychologists working in the region.
