Social work has long been working directly with the criminal and
civil courts of the justice system. The work of Latin American
practitioners in the legal system, however, is little known at
global and local levels. This book is the first to go beyond
Western-centric appraisals and presents a truly Latin American
portrait of social work in the justice system.  The
long-term interaction of social work practitioners with the
judicial system enabled them to develop an expertise to dialogue
with other disciplines such as law and psychology. This knowledge
is very important to identify and share with other professionals to
develop specialized programs for education and training. In this
sense, positive and negative experiences of social work in the
justice system allow one to improve its practice. It is crucial to
identify local experiences and the great dilemmas that the
profession faces on this subject. The volume's chapters deal with
these dynamics in Latin American countries including: Forensic
Social Work: The construction of possible ways of the criminal
intervention Socio-Legal Social Work in the Field of Criminal
Defense Family and Community Life: Contributions of Social Work to
the Debate in Family Courts Support to Victims in High-conflict
Scenarios: An approach from the socio-legal, the pedagogical, and
the care perspectives The Assessment of Child and Adolescent Sexual
Abuse Allegations from a Social Work Perspective Latin American
Social Work in the Justice System is essential reading for
students, researchers, academicians, policymakers, and
practitioners who are interested in international social work with
a special focus on Latin American countries and legal culture.
Students and scholars in law, development studies, and public
policy as well as psychologists working with and interested in the
judicial system would also find this book a useful resource.
