Emotions remain largely invisible in the management of criminal
justice practice. This book seeks to uncover some of the
underground emotional work of practitioners and make visible the
impact of both positive and negative emotions, which play a crucial
role in practitioner-offender relationships. Exploring how
practitioners understand, regulate and work with emotion, Knight
argues that the 'soft skills' of emotion are more likely to achieve
motivation and change in offenders than the 'hard' skills of
punishment, monitoring and surveillance. The book examines some of
the gendered implications of this practice and develops an argument
for the explicit building of emotional resources within
organizations to sustain the development, enhancement and support
of emotional literacy in the workforce. Using practice examples,
Knight reveals how practitioners can benefit from having an
understanding of their own emotions and how these can impact on
their practice. This unique and accessible book will be a valuable
resource to practitioners across the criminal justice sector
including probation officers, youth justice workers, police and
prison officers, social workers, policymakers and managers, as well
as scholars working within criminology, criminal justice and
probation.
