Quantum Probability Theory, Psychology and Law: Modelling Legal Decision Making with Quantum Principles

This  book provides the first consideration of quantum principles in legal  decision making. It shows how quantum probability theory can be applied  to psychology and law to deepen our understanding of psychological and  legal issues, suggesting a paradigm shift in the study of these areas.

Written  as an introduction to quantum probability theory for non-physicists,  the book offers an accessible summary of how psychology can be applied  to quantum phenomena for human decision making. It introduces  psychologists and lawyers to fresh conceptual frameworks, including  classical probability theory, classical statistics, data mining and  quantum theory. Wojciechowski shows how quantum theory and concepts can  be transferred to psychological research models, and can help to resolve  previously unexplained psychological phenomena, influence scientific  views, undermine traditional foundations of the legal system and result  in the development of new research directions. Studies conducted by the  author are used to show how problems facing legal decision making can be  addressed in a completely new light with the application of quantum  probability theory.

This cutting-edge and innovative  book will be of great interest to graduate students and researchers in  the fields of forensic psychology and legal decision making, as well as  legal professionals and legal scholars.
