Koch HCH, Hampton N, Midgley S

Abstract

Research and debate about the interface between Psychology and Law has largely focused on the criminal justice system. This paper illustrates innovation in the civil justice context in the UK to address this crucial issue. Research and debate needs to redress this imbalance to bring collaboration between law and science to the forefront.
