Social Psychology (8th ed)
Baron & Bryne
(1997)
 
 
     From experience as a psychology undergrad I can tell you that forensic psychology courses and texts are few and far between.  One of my social psychology courses used Baron and Bryne's text.  I was happy to see that it had an applied social psychology chapter that covered forensic psychology in the court system (pages 475 - 498).  For those interested in developing a scientific background in criminal personality's the chapter on aggression (Ch 11, 391-431) may be of particular interest.  This is a good book for prospective social psychology teachers who do not want to ignore the applications of their discipline in forensics.

No Substitute for Madness
Ron Jones
(1977)
 
 
     This has little to do with forensics.  I added it because it is quite possibly one of the most disturbing things I have ever read.  It is about how a college teachers attempt to show how easily people could be made to conform (i.e. like in nazi germany).  The demonstration went wrong.  A far too real account that shows just how easy people can be manipulated.

American Psychiatric Association
(1994)
 
 
     If you work in corrections or personality assessment you likely are already using this book.  All the other texts talk about crime and mental illness and use diagnostic terms like schizophrenia, personality disorders, and
depression.  Well that's all fine, but how do you recognize such illnesses?  This text will tell you how
