SOLUTIONS AND CONTEMPORARY IDEAS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE JUDICIAL PROCESS

Summary/Abstract: Law and psychology have a lot in common. Respect for the law is the guarantee of fair justice. Understanding the role and importance of psychology in law contributes to achieving fair justice, but also educating citizens for a society of law. The purpose of this article is to identify contemporary solutions and ideas regarding the application of psychological knowledge in the judicial process that would expand the research field of forensic psychology. For this purpose, three objectives were postulated to specify the impact of judicial theory and practice on psychology, to identify the most "valid" links between law and psychology and to note the newest solutions and ideas. As a result, it is observed that the manner in which justice is carried out has a profound impact on behavior, individual and collective decisions, and, respectively, on the development of psychology as a science. Another result is that the links between law and psychology are multiple, interconnected and complex, and can and should be analyzed through scientific methods.
