Reducing Reoffending provides a critical overview of social work
and community justice in Scotland, taking full account of recent
developments. The book is divided into three comprehensive
sections. Part one of the book provides a critical analysis of the
challenge of reducing reoffending in Scotland and locates this
challenge within its historical context. Part one also reviews the
available evidence about when, how and why people stop offending;
about desistance from crime. This analysis exposes not only the
complexities of desistance processes, but also the many
difficulties that offenders face in making the related transition.
Part two of the book provides an account of the legal contexts of
criminal justice social work services in Scotland analysing both
the role that social work plays in the sentencing process and its
role in supervising offenders in the community. The final part the
book addresses questions of how the practice of supervision might
be best developed so as to support desistance and reduce
reoffending, though the books final conclusion is that reducing
reoffending requires a much broader commitment to promoting and
realising justice in the community.
