Forensic Psychology by Bartol - Review - Good book for those who wish for a good overview of the forensic psychology subfield. However, it can be dry at points especially toward those who are not interested in or familiar with psychology prior to reading.

Psychological Evaluations for the Courts - This is a comprehensive overview of law and psychology for the beginning student. You will get a thorough understanding of the requirements and laws going forward as a forensic psychologist. Although it is a basic beginning book, it is also very extensive. There are useful case studies, numerous citations and complete discussions of the issues a forensic psychologist will encounter and need to know to be effective.
