Dr Celine van Golde, Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney, joins SMSA to explore the role of psychology in criminal investigations.

Celine will use a case of an Australian wrongful conviction to show how mistakes made in criminal investigation can be explained by psychological research, and how psychological research can assist in improving criminal investigations.

In this fascinating talk, Celine will cover confirmation bias in investigations, false confessions, identification evidence and issues with police interviews.
