• This book presents an interdisciplinary approach to the study of memory and law.
• It brings psychologists, philosophers, neuroscientists, and lawyers together to consider the variety of ways in which memory -- and how it functions psychologically -- impacts the legal process.

The legal system depends upon memory function in a number of critical ways, including the memories of victims, the memories of individuals who witness crimes or other critical events, the memories of investigators, lawyers, and judges engaged in the legal process, and the memories of jurors. How well memory works, how accurate it is, how it is affected by various aspects of the criminal justice system -- these are all important questions. But there are others as well: Can we tell
when someone is reporting an accurate memory? Can we distinguish a true memory from a false one? Can memories be selectively enhanced, or erased? Are memories altered by emotion, by stress, by drugs? These questions and more are addressed by Memory and Law, which aims to present the current
state of knowledge among cognitive and neural scientists about memory as applied to the law.

Zielgruppe

People within the legal system who would benefit from exposure to the best thinking scientists currently can bring to bear on the nature of memory and what that might mean for the law. Academics in psychology, neuroscience, law, and philosophy.
