We are very grateful to the rector of St. Petersburg State University, Nikolay
Kropachev, for agreeing to host and support the meeting from which the
chapters in this volume emerge. We would also like to acknowledge the support
from the many brilliant psychologists and lawyers of St. Petersburg State
University. We would like to extend particular appreciation to the dean of the
Faculty of Psychology, Professor Alla Shaboltas, and the dean of the Faculty of
Law, Professor Natalia Sheveleva. Without your support, this volume would
never had materialized. We are also in debt to Moscow State University of
Psychology and Education. Scholars at this university provided valuable
support in preparing and running the European Association of Psychology
and Law congress in St. Petersburg. We are particularly grateful to Professor
Elena Dozortseva of Moscow State University of Psychology and Education.
We would also like to thank Dr. Lisa ?hman for all her efforts working with
this book.
