On The Witness Stand: Essays On Psychology And Crime is a book written by Hugo Munsterberg, a renowned psychologist and professor at Harvard University. The book is a collection of essays that explore the intersection of psychology and the criminal justice system. Munsterberg argues that psychology can provide valuable insights into the criminal mind, and that these insights can be used to improve the administration of justice. He discusses various topics, such as the reliability of eyewitness testimony, the use of hypnosis in criminal investigations, and the role of emotions in criminal behavior. The book also includes a section on the psychology of the jury, in which Munsterberg examines the factors that influence jurors’ decision-making processes. He argues that jurors are often swayed by factors such as race, gender, and social status, and that these biases can lead to wrongful convictions. Overall, On The Witness Stand is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between psychology and crime. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the criminal justice system and the role of psychology in understanding criminal behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
