Criminal Psychology

GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE
MODERN CRIMINAL SCIENCE SERIES.

AT the National Conference of Criminal Law and Criminology, held in Chicago, at Northwestern University, in June, 1909, the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology was organized; and, as a part of its work, the following resolution was passed: ``_Whereas_, it is exceedingly desirable that important treatises on criminology in foreign languages be made readily accessible in the English language, _Resolved_, that the president appoint a committee of five with power to select such treatises as in their judgment should be translated, and to arrange for their publication.''
The Committee appointed under this Resolution has made careful investigation of the literature of the subject, and has consulted by frequent correspondence. It has selected several works from among the mass of material. It has arranged with publisher, with authors, and with translators, for the immediate undertaking and rapid progress of the task. It realizes the necessity of educating the professions and the public by the wide diffusion of information on this subject.

    The role of an expert witness in the criminal justice system such a forensic psychologist, is to make appropriate and suitable assessments, therapeutic assessment, conduct interviews, conducts evaluations and consultations, and also collects data pertaining to case (Huss, 2013). A forensic psychologist may render an opinion in family law in a case involving custody dispute.

    Jessie Misskelley’s signed a Miranda waiver on tape before he was interrogated by Detective Ridge. His confession is not admissible under Iowa law on “Miranda” voluntariness, but I do not believe that the evidence supports his confession. In the case of State of IOwa, Appellee v. Jimmie Lee HODGES page 347, Hodges confessed to the crime that he was accused of after the police officer “suggested that by confessing the defendant would receive better treatment and less severe punishment than if he denied guilt and stood trial.” An officer can tell a suspect that it is better to the truth, but in this case the line seemed to be crossed if the officer also tells the suspect what advantage is to be gained or is likely from making a confession. When the officer provided special treatment to the defendant, he destroyed the voluntary nature of the confession in the eyes of the law. Misskelley refused to testify against Echols and Baldwin even though he was offered a deal in reduction time in his jail sentence.…
