Abstract

Legal procedures such as interrogations, confessions, forensic interviews, lineups, eyewitness tests, and poly- graph tests may be studied in the context of law and psychology. However, the same procedures may also be studied within the discipline of criminal psychology, which typically concentrates on the psychological pro- cesses of criminals, victims, and third parties such as witnesses, residents around crime scenes, and people in- volved in the arrest or correction of criminals. We were concerned that young researchers, who will be the fu- ture leaders in law and psychology, have had little contact with criminal psychologists ; an intersection for criminal psychology and law and psychology has not been established. In this symposium, first-line research- ers reported on present interests, theories and research methods in criminal psychology and law and psycholo- gy, and they discussed existing and possible future crossroads between the disciplines as a first step towards their integration. Here, we describe the background and objectives of this symposium.
