To revisit an issue I had asked about to the list, to a number of wonderful and helpful responses, I was wondering if anyone else has looked at Bartol & Bartol's text on Psychology and Law (2nd edition), published by Brooks/Cole? I know that Wrightsman's text is clearly the preferred one by the TIPSters that replied, but given the brief time period of the class, and the comments made to me by some who said they couldn't find a text they liked and so used readings, I've checked out this text and at first glance (not a thorough reading yet... that's my holiday reading: psych-law texts!) it seems to cover a variety of topics without spending what I see as too much time on issues covered in a criminal justice course. It's fairly brief (under 400 pages), and seems topical... so why AREN'T you using it? Is it simply the superior of Wrightsman, or is there something wrong with this book? Sorry to dwell on this issue for those not interested, and sorry I haven't replkied to everyone who has been so helpful to send me syllabi, offers of assistance, etc. I'm saving your email addy's and I WILL be in touch (so be warned!).
