High risk offenders can have a disproportionate impact on their
communities because, despite all manner of sentencing options, they
continue to commit a wide range of crimes, both minor and serious.
It is tempting to throw the book at them, sometimes even to throw
away the key. However, anything that helps offenders to change
their propensity for re-offending can really make a difference.
Over the last 30 years, scientific research has guided the
provision of treatment, rehabilitation and reintegration services
that lead to reductions in re-offending. Much of what we know,
however, comes from work with medium-risk offenders. Although this
work is important and valuable, there is a lower level of
complexity to working with medium-risk offenders than most
high-risk offenders require. This book recognizes the need to
research and develop different approaches to rehabilitating
high-risk offenders. Each of the contributions takes a different
approach, with a different group of offenders, in a different
setting. Cumulatively, the chapters provide encouragement for those
working with high risk offenders, along with a wide range of ideas
about how to develop better services. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Psychology, Crime & Law.
