For a practical, hands-on approach to learning forensic psychology,
Experiments in Anti-Social Behaviour: Ten Studies for Students
presents a collection of unique projects for students that illustrate
the many ways research into anti-social behaviour can be conducted
whilst also highlighting social psychological aspects of criminality.
Drawing on over half a century of supervising many hundreds of
projects at high school, undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels,
David Canter provides well-grounded and detailed guidance for students
on how to execute a range of different research studies through
several psychological approaches, including quantitative cognitive
studies, qualitative discourse analysis, and social identity theory.
After introducing the ethical and practical challenges of studying
crime and criminality, Experiments in Anti-Social Behaviour outlines
broad approaches to research. This is followed by ten practical
studies for students to carry out in order to engage directly with
experimental research. These studies cover experiments, surveys, and
case studies, and include a controlled examination of how easy it is
to forge a signature, descriptions of experiments trying to detect
deception, and an exploration of what is involved in linking actions
in a serial killer’s crimes to his characteristics. Both engaging
and interactive, Experiments in Anti-Social Behaviour is an invaluable
resource for instructors and students from colleges and universities
around the world in many different fields, such as psychology,
criminology, and socio-legal studies. It will also be of interest to
all those who want to know more about the psychology of crime and
criminality.
