The recent explosion of research and practice relating to offending and the related investigative and legal processes makes it extremely difficult for anyone to master these emerging areas of research. This book will help readers to navigate through this rapidly expanding area of scholarship and practice by bringing together a number of recent reviews on key topics by leading experts in the field. Contributions to the volume discuss developments in the study of interviewing and the detection of deception together with explorations of victims and offenders. The psychological background and consequences of school bullying, child sexual abuse and male rape are also explored, as are the challenges of collecting information about crimes as varied as burglary and serial killing. This book will be a valuable resource for criminologists, crime and forensic psychologists, students of socio-legal processes and all those involved in legal and investigative activities. The chapters in this book were originally published as review articles in Crime Psychology Review.

El Trastorno por Déficit de Atención con Hiperactividad (TDAH) es el trastorno neuropsiquiátrico más común entre la población infantil en América Latina. Se trata de una condición que afecta a quienes lo padecen en todos los aspectos de su vida diaria. Sin embargo, sigue siendo mal entendido por padres de familia, tutores y maestros por igual, que a menudo no logran detectar los síntomas para acudir a un tratamiento de manera oportuna. Rafa Guerrero explica, con un lenguaje accesible para padres y maestros, cuáles son las características, síntomas y tratamientos del TDAH, además de abordar las dificultades que tienen los pacientes en los ámbitos académico, familiar, social, conductual y emocional. En estas páginas se proponen ejercicios prácticos y actividades para potenciar la atención, la memoria operativa, la planificación, la toma de decisiones, la automotivación y la perseverancia en las tareas, además de presentarse testimonios por parte de adolescentes con TDAH y padres de familia, que hablan de las distintas formas en que han aprendido a afrontar y superar los retos que conlleva este trastorno.

El Trastorno por déficit de atención y/o hiperactividad (TDAH) es una patología de alta prevalencia dentro del desarrollo neurológico del niño. Desde el punto de vista profesional genera un elevado número de consultas médicas y es frecuente la falta de orientación del médico o psicólogo en relación a este trastorno; desde el punto de vista ambiental motiva una gran ansiedad familiar y preocupación escolar. El propósito de este trabajo es saber qué actitudes asumen éstos al recibir en el salón de clases un niño diagnosticado con la condición, o cuyo comportamiento en clase podría estar asociado al trastorno; esta metodología se basa en los modelos de redes semánticas para conocer su grado de conocimiento del TDAH y las actitudes que toman los docentes.
