The risk assessment process, the interventions and treatment
commenced as a result of it and the theory behind it are central to
the administration of criminal justice programmes around the world.
Most youth and adult corrections departments routinely conduct risk
assessments, which are then used to inform the nature and intensity
of subsequent criminal justice interventions. In this unique and
important text, a team of the world's leading researchers in the
field of criminal justice come together to provide a critique of
this risk paradigm, and to provide practical guidance for
professionals, students and academics on how to move to a more
effective way of working with offenders. Divided into three
sections, the book provides coverage of topics such as: - The
development of risk assessment in criminal justice practice, and
its advantages and disadvantages. - The significance of risk factor
research in understanding and explaining juvenile delinquency - as
well as the problems it creates. - The argument that the risk
paradigm fails to accommodate diversity, further disadvantaging
women, ethnic minorities and other marginalized groups. - The
various ways in which real or imagined risk posed by offenders has
been regulated under the risk paradigm, the powerful influence of
media reporting, and ways of moving 'beyond risk' to support
successful reintegration of offenders. - Ways forward for criminal
justice interventions that do not rely on risk, but focus rather on
the vitally important aspects of social context, relationships and
motivation. With strong links between theory and practice, Beyond
the Risk Paradigm in Criminal Justice provides a fresh new
direction for criminal justice work.
