About this book
A remembered face, a bell, or the colour of a necktie can set off a chain of ideas that matters in a legal inquiry. Hans Gross examines these mental connections in Criminal Psychology, a manual addressed to judges, practitioners, and students. His subject brings the study of the mind into the handling of evidence, with particular attention to how an investigator forms an explanation and how a witness recalls an event.
The discussion distinguishes deliberate reasoning from thoughts that seem to arrive suddenly and from memories recovered by holding an image steadily in mind. Examples move between an arson inquiry and the everyday difficulty of placing a familiar face. Translated from the fourth German edition by Horace M. Kallen, with an introduction by Joseph Jastrow, the book offers readers interested in the history of psychology a close view of its application to legal work.
