Perspectives in Law and Psychology

AP-LS Book Series

AP-LS sponsors a book series, edited by Ronald Roesch and published by Oxford University Press. AP-LS has chosen Oxford University Press as a strategic partner because of its commitment to scholarship, quality, and the international dissemination of ideas.  These strengths will help AP-LS reach our goal of educating the psychology and legal professions and the general public about important developments in the field of psychology and law. The focus of the book series reflects the diversity of the field of psychology and law as we will publish books on a broad range of topics.
