Review:

"The web resources and suggested readings at the end of each chapter are a nice addition."

"I have read the manuscript you sent titled "Your Career in Psychology: Psychology and the Law." I definitely think it is publishable--it contains a great deal of practical information about types of activities, training opportunities, and even salary figures. It contains up-to-date references. The profiles of different types of forensic psychologists give flesh to the material. A number of links to relevant information are included. I think it will be a particularly useful resource for students, given the ambiguous nature of "Forensic Psychology" for the public. My congratulations to the author for doing a fine job of pulling together a number of recent sources."
