Description
Understanding the Human Element: How Social Psychology Shapes Criminal Justice explores the relationship between social psychology and criminal justice.
Denise N. Fyffe examines the human factors that influence behavior: social pressure, perception, identity, group dynamics, decision-making, and the environments in which choices are made. The book connects these concepts to criminal behavior and to the ways justice systems interpret, respond to, and seek to prevent harmful conduct.
Written for readers who want a clearer understanding of how psychological and social forces intersect with crime, institutions, and justice.
