"Criminal Psychology: A Manual for Judges, Practitioners, and Students" by Hans Gross is a scientific handbook that explores how psychology applies to crime and the law, probably written in the early 1900s. The text acts as a thorough exploration into the minds of those involved in the legal system, from judges to criminals, aiming to improve how we understand crime and its consequences. The book's introduction highlights why grasping human behavior and how people see things is vital for fair trials. Gross points out how important it is for judges to be able to tell when someone is telling the truth, while also discussing how mental states can change how evidence is gathered and understood. The overarching idea is that judges should know the psychological features that affect both people giving evidence and the perpetrators of crime.
