Children, psychology, and law: Reflections on past and future
contributions to science and policy.
Bottoms, B. L., Reppucci, N. D., Tweed, J., & Nysse, K. (in press).
This chapter reflects our examination of the burgeoning subfield of Children, Psychology, and Law, a subfield that encompasses an exceptionally wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, child maltreatment, children's eyewitness testimony, juvenile justice and delinquency, custody and adoption, and children’s rights. In keeping with the theme of this volume, we identify factors that led to the field’s most notable past accomplishments and outline future challenges that must be met for the field to continue producing scientifically sound research that will have significant impact on law, policy, and practice relating to children.
