Papers on psychology and the criminal justice system examine the role of the psychological perspective in law and criminal justice, the dynamics of policing from a psychological perspective, courtroom procedures and personnel roles from a psychological perspective, the psychological impact of prison management on inmates, and the distinctive roles of psychology and the criminal justice system. Papers on the psychology of crime present a historical overview of concepts of the offender as the basis for correctional strategies, sociological and psychological theories of crime, key concepts of Freudian psychoanalytic theory and how they explain delinquency development, the social learning theory of aggression, and the characteristics of a psychological instrument that will predict delinquency. The first paper that focuses on understanding and treating the offender discusses voluntary participation in treatment, differential treatment, who should be treated and where, and the why and wherefore of treatment. Other papers present a psychological typology of delinquency and the treatment possibilities for each type; the etiology of violence in general and its manifestation in particular offenses; and the characteristics, etiology, and treatment of the antisocial personality. Other topics addressed in this section are the alcoholic offender, the drug offender, the sex offender, the white-collar offender, the female offender, and learning as treatment.
