Principles of Forensic Report Writing explores the psychology of report writing, including the motivations of readers and writers, communicative and performative concerns, and the cognitive science that applies to the process.

The book addresses foundational principles rather than mechanics and how these feed back to the assessment process. Emphasis is placed throughout on the problem of applying general research, nomothetic tests, and generally useful actuarials to specific cases.

"Both novice and seasoned forensic report writers will be sure to write better and more comprehensive reports when armed with Principles of Forensic Report Writing." - PsycCRITIQUES
