Dr. S.R. Myneni’s Criminal Psychology explores the mind behind the crime — the psychological dimension of criminal behaviour that increasingly informs investigation, sentencing and forensic practice. It covers the psychological theories of crime, personality and the criminal, the roots of aggression and violence, and the psychology of specific offender types, alongside the applied fields: criminal profiling, eyewitness testimony and its reliability, deception detection, the insanity defence and criminal responsibility, and the assessment of dangerousness and risk.
The book connects psychology to the legal questions it bears on — mens rea, unsoundness of mind under the penal law, and the treatment of mentally ill offenders — with Indian and comparative material. The 2026 edition is current with the new criminal codes. A distinctive elective text bridging law, criminology and psychology.
