This handbook discusses some of the ways in which psychological
research and methods can be applied by a wide variety of
professional groups working with offenders. It concentrates on the
assessment of risk in forensic settings and the interventions
designed to reduce risk in violent and sexual offenders, and is
divided into three sections. The first section includes an overview
of major psychological perspectives on offending and this is
followed by chapters on the contribution of psychological
development and offender profiling. Section two focuses on the
assessment of risk with particular emphasis given to two examples -
the assessment of risk of suicidal behaviour and violence. Section
three looks at the application of psychological assessment and
intervention approaches. The focus throughout this section is on
the use of systematic approaches to assessment and intervention and
the two areas discussed in detail are anger management difficulties
and sexual offending.
