Contingent on funding being available, a Festschrift will be held in honor of Dr. John Yuille’s career as a Forensic Psychologist. He has become one of the most visible and respected Canadian psychologists worldwide. In light of his upcoming retirement in December 2006, the Festschrift will recognize Dr. Yuille’s achievements in the areas of eyewitness memory research (i.e., pioneering a new research paradigm that grants better validity), investigative interviewing (i.e., the development and use of the Step Wise Interview Protocol), and credibility assessment (i.e., introducing Statement Validity Analysis to North America).

The Handbook of Eyewitness Psychology presents a survey of research and legal opinions from international experts on the rapidly expanding scientific literature addressing the accuracy and limitations of eyewitnesses as a source of evidence for the courts. For the first time, extensive reviews of factors influencing witnesses of all ages – children, adults, and the elderly – are compiled in a single pair of volumes. The disparate research currently being conducted in eyewitness memory in psychology, criminal justice, and legal studies is coherently presented in this work. Volume 1 covers memory for events. Volume 2 cover memory for people.
Violent offenders often claim amnesia in order to avoid punishment. It is important for investigators and juries to ascertain whether such amnesia is genuine or feigned - an offender with amnesia is not able to enter a plea, and issues of automatism are raised.
A testemunha persiste como pedra angular do processo. Todavia, um depoimento sem erros é uma exceção, sendo a memória distorcida, mesmo involuntariamente, por fatores endógenos e exógenos à testemunha. Nesta obra, é feita uma revisão da literatura científica sobre os fatores que intervêm no processo mnésico da testemunha e que se espelham na fidedignidade do depoimento, analisando-se também os métodos mais idóneos na deteção da mentira no depoimento. Já numa ótica processual, são estudados os aspetos centrais da produção da prova testemunhal desde os incidentes, os sigilos profissionais, o confronto com outros meios de prova, os parâmetros da sua valoração, a sua reapreciação em recurso, findando com o exame do crime de falso testemunho. Em suma, esta obra aspira a ser um guia abrangente sobre a prova testemunhal.
