Author

This is an excellent work in which Dr. Miller smoothly blends the principles of modern psychology with the street realities of modern law enforcement situations.

It is an excellent companion to my own work which focuses on cognitive factors in the criminal justice system, and also on my book, which deals with these factors in the realm of fire service and other first responder emergency operations.

Dr. Miller gives a realistic view of psychology in the dangerous realm of law enforcement.

From Matthew's list on cognitive science and the criminal justice system.
