The Mad, The Bad, And The Innocent: The Criminal Mind On Trial
-- Tales Of A Forensic Psychologist
Barbara Kirwin is the New York area's premier forensic psychologist. Over
the last twenty years, her work has introduced her to murderers, rapists,
sociopaths, and paranoids. Now Kirwin looks back over her most celebrated
cases - and delivers a critique of recent insanity defense abuses. Drawing
on her own personal experiences, she explains how a psychologist can
determine whether the criminal is insane or not - from the distinctive
body odor of a schizophrenic to the slips that reveal a faker. This book
is required reading for anyone outraged by the misuse of the insanity
defense.
