"The purpose of the proposed book is to offer a broad audience a greater understanding of JI testimony, historically, legally, and psychologically. First, the book will provide clear examples of the use of JI testimony in a variety of cases, and present the use of JI testimony in historical perspective. The latter will include data on how often JI testimony is used and in what kinds of cases, demographics of JIs, outcomes, and outcomes overturned. Next, we will review the legal status of JI testimony. Third, we will review the vast amount of psychological research pertinent to JI testimony--there will be chapters on confessions, lying and lie detection, expert testimony, and perceptions of JI testimony. Finally, we will integrate our historical, legal, and psychological coverage by offering recommendations for dealing with JI testimony in court"--
