Set against a background of increasing concern over miscarriages of justice, the authors of this critique of judicial decision-making contend that judges, lawyers and police believe so strongly in the narrative presented in criminal legal proceedings that they do not seek anchoring through evidence. Using research from cognitive psychology, they explore the nature and purpose of anchoring as a means of firmly establishing and identifying the "truth" and demonstrate that an alarming lack of consistency exists in current systems. Each chapter then considers the anchoring potential and reliability of the relationship between proof and investigation, confessions, identification and wrongful conviction, reliability of witnesses, the authority of experts, effective defence and the selection of evidence, drawing on actual cases and often exposing pitfalls and room for error.

• Introduction
• Theoretical and methodological background
• Professional decision making in the Dutch context
• Professional decision making in the English context
• Understanding lawyers' professional decision making : the role of the institutional and professional context
• Conclusion.

Asylum legal aid lawyers are under continuous public scrutiny. On the one hand, these lawyers are portrayed as being solely motivated by profit. On the other hand, they are depicted as leftist activists frustrating the legal system. When assisting their asylum seeking clients under the state's legal aid scheme, lawyers need to balance the client's interest, the public interest in the administration of justice and their own interest in profit or survival. The current book examines this balancing act and explores the role of the institutional context. It does so by studying the decision making of asylum legal aid lawyers in the Netherlands and England in respect of two ethical issues: `time vs. money' and `hopeless cases'. This empirical research into lawyers' professional ethics in practice will appeal to scholars engaged in lawyers' ethics, policy makers and those involved in the regulation of the legal profession.

• Full criminal proceedings in decline
• Diversions, shortcuts and the concept of fairness
• Diversions and shortcuts in Dutch law of criminal procedure
• Diversions and shortcuts in the law of international criminal procedure
• Avoiding a full criminal trial : evading fairness?
• Why fairness matters.

In modern societies, full criminal trials are avoided on many occasions. This book is concerned with mechanisms that either divert from or speed up the proceedings. Koen Vriend argues that the fair trial rights as established by the European Court of Human Rights under Article 6 ECHR provide a normative framework that does not only apply in a full criminal trial, but that it can also be used for diverted and shortened proceedings. He shows that the concept of fairness-as derived from ECtHR case law-is a fundamental principle that underlies all criminal law enforcement. It provides for the appropriate framework to assess whether diverted or shortened proceedings are fair and legitimate. The book is intended for criminal law scholars and practitioners and human rights scholars. Dr. Koen Vriend is a Lecturer of Criminal Law and Criminal Procedural Law at the University of Amsterdam.

• Introduction
• Conceptualising the addiction debate
• Addiction in (Dutch) criminal law
• Prior fault, intoxicated offenders and addiction
• Contextualising addiction in Dutch legal practice
• The effects of different explanations of addition on criminal liability perceptions
• An experiential account of addiction in criminal law
• Conclusions and further discussions

Addiction is pervasively present within the criminal justice sector, resulting in legal professionals regularly dealing with addicted defendants. Yet addiction is a complex and heterogeneous phenomenon, resulting in controversies regarding its conceptualisation, and thus difficulties in addressing addiction-related crime in court. Over the last decades, addiction has increasingly been conceptualised as a brain disease, which arguably could alter the law's current approach towards the criminal liability of addicted defendants. In this book, an overview of the different ways of conceptualising addiction is provided, before applying this knowledge onto both the legal framework of Dutch criminal law, and to more universal legal concepts. As such, the compatibility of concepts such as intent, premeditation, insanity, diminished responsibility and prior fault, with potentially impaired capacities stemming from addiction, is critically examined. After assessing the 'law in the books', the second half of the book contains an evaluation of the 'law in action'. This encompasses the role of addiction in case files, the presence of neuroscientific information in cases of addicted defendants, its influence on legal decision-making, and experiential accounts of legal professionals. Combining normative, comparative and experimental designs, the author does not only analyse some of the complexities of addiction in the context of criminal justice, but also contributes to the growing practice of interdisciplinary and empirical (neuro)legal research. .
