Con el presente IV volumen de casos práctico-criminológicos de Psicometría Forense, se cierra la obra completa iniciada con el Vol. I (Asesinatos), Vol. II (Tentativas de Asesinatos) y Vol. III (Parafilias y agresiones sexuales de adultos) y retomando una temática posiblemente más sensible que la anterior, desde el punto de vista social: las parafilias y las agresiones sexuales de menores. De este modo, y siempre partiendo desde la base de la resolución judicial, el autor expone magistralmente 19 casos y establece la distinción de perfiles psicométricos forenses de presuntos agresores sexuales que han sido absueltos de responsabilidad criminal (inocentes y libres de cargos por falta de acreditación de carga probatoria); de aquellos sujetos que sí han cometido la conducta parafílica pedófila y por los que han sido sentenciados con pena de ingreso en prisión, por su responsabilidad criminal (ya sean agresores de una única víctima, como de agresores seriales de múltiples víctimas). Asimismo, el autor también expone interesantes casos de agresores sexuales por cuyo perfil psicométrico de personalidad han sido analizados longitudinalmente a lo largo del tiempo en distintas ocasiones. Los casos que expone el autor son fruto de su propia experiencia profesional directa y que, juntamente con los casos ilustrados en sus obras predecesoras de la presente colección, se ha convertido en un reconocido especialista en dichas materias concernientes a la Psicología Criminal y Forense (nacional e internacional). Asimismo, la obra es complementada por un capítulo dedicado a la credibilidad del testimonio en menores, un capítulo dedicado a los casos de abusos/agresiones sexuales en el estamento clerical, por un glosario de parafilias o trastornos de las inclinaciones sexuales y por brillantes aportaciones de autores de reconocido prestigio profesional de ámbito nacional del Derecho y de la Psiquiatría: D. Jaime Moreno Verdejo, Dr. Miguel Clemente, Dr. Juan Antonio Martos, Dr. Antoni Pascual, Dr. Josep Solé Puig, En su totalidad, los cuatro volúmenes aglutinan más de 60 casos psicológico-criminológicos y aplicados de la Psicometría Forense; y reúne a 25 autores nacionales e internacionales —de reconocido y amplio prestigio, tanto profesional como académico— que han participado de manera brillante aumentando, en su total conjunto, la calidad técnica y profesional de la obra completa y configurando un trabajo consolidado y, posiblemente, único en su especialidad.

Originally published in Spanish in 2017 by Libreria Bosch, Barcelona, the Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology is a one-of-kind book made available in English for the first time. This unique work is highly illustrated with full-color images, providing a medico-legal examination of forensic pathology as it relates to cases of forensic psychological interest. The book begins with a historical perspective and includes images of patients to familiarize the reader with symptoms, the hazard-risk criteria, lethality, and suicidal rescue—research that Dr. Tiffon has addressed in his previous publications. Chapters present photographic records of cases to deepen forensic, psychologist, and medico-legal professionals’ insight into thoughts, behaviors, and mechanisms of self- and hetero-aggressiveness. Such cases illustrate the outcomes of various disorders manifested in individuals and victims; as such, they provide an understanding of the psychological-legal conclusions reached in such cases in order to adapt the legal and preventative measures for specific situations. Coverage includes affective, schizophrenic, and personality disorders as contributing elements in diagnostic judgments, noting the great difficulty such examples present to experts performing psychopathological evaluations after criminal, and often violent, events have occurred. Various psychopathological disorders are addressed as well as the technical treatment that should occur in each case from a psychological-forensic perspective. Features: • Presents a provocative look at various syndromes familiar to forensic psychologists, as applied to criminal cases and the pathology of suicide victims and homicide perpetrators • Combines the work of world-renowned expert contributors to examine the criminal, legal, and psychological facets of various diagnoses and case examples • Offers insight into the psychological state of suicide victims, considering their state of mind as a "psychological autopsy" In his previous books published in Spanish, Manual of Consulting in Psychology and Clinical, Legal, Legal, Criminal, and Forensic Psychopathology (2008), Manual of Professional Performance in Clinical, Criminal, and Forensic Psychopathology (2009), and the 4-volume Practical Criminological Atlas of Forensic Psychometry (2019-2020), Tiffon approached forensic psychology and psychopathology from a theoretical perspective. In the Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology, his first book translated into English, Tiffon expands on these prior works, serving to provide a visual reference and guide to medical pathologists and consulting psychologists in cases of disorders in which psychopathological mutilation, injury, and self-injury occur.

The first known abolitionist critique of the death penalty—here for the first time in English In 1764, a Milanese aristocrat named Cesare Beccaria created a sensation when he published On Crimes and Punishments. At its centre is a rejection of the death penalty as excessive, unnecessary, and pointless. Beccaria is deservedly regarded as the founding father of modern criminal-law reform, yet he was not the first to argue for the abolition of the death penalty. Against the Death Penalty presents the first English translation of the Florentine aristocrat Giuseppe Pelli's critique of capital punishment, written three years before Beccaria's treatise, but lost for more than two centuries in the Pelli family archives. Peter Garnsey examines the contrasting arguments of the two abolitionists, who drew from different intellectual traditions. Pelli was a devout Catholic influenced by the writings of natural jurists such as Hugo Grotius, whereas Beccaria was inspired by the French Enlightenment philosophers. While Beccaria attacked the criminal justice system as a whole, Pelli focused on the death penalty, composing a critique of considerable depth and sophistication. Garnsey explores how Beccaria's alternative penalty of forced labour, and its conceptualisation as servitude, were embraced in Britain and America, and delves into Pelli's voluminous diaries, shedding light on Pelli's intellectual development and painting a vivid portrait of an Enlightenment man of letters and of conscience. With translations of letters exchanged by the two abolitionists and selections from Beccaria's writings, Against the Death Penalty provides new insights into eighteenth-century debates about capital punishment and offers vital historical perspectives on one of the most pressing questions of our own time.

How American colonists laid the foundations of American capitalism with an economy built on credit Even before the United States became a country, laws prioritizing access to credit set colonial America apart from the rest of the world. Credit Nation examines how the drive to expand credit shaped property laws and legal institutions in the colonial and founding eras of the republic. In this major new history of early America, Claire Priest describes how the British Parliament departed from the customary ways that English law protected land and inheritance, enacting laws for the colonies that privileged creditors by defining land and slaves as commodities available to satisfy debts. Colonial governments, in turn, created local legal institutions that enabled people to further leverage their assets to obtain credit. Priest shows how loans backed with slaves as property fueled slavery from the colonial era through the Civil War, and that increased access to credit was key to the explosive growth of capitalism in nineteenth-century America. Credit Nation presents a new vision of American economic history, one where credit markets and liquidity were prioritized from the outset, where property rights and slaves became commodities for creditors' claims, and where legal institutions played a critical role in the Stamp Act crisis and other political episodes of the founding period.
