Sexual offenders - arguably the most hated and feared of all
offenders - commit their crimes in our communities and are then
hidden from public view as they serve long prison sentences.
However, despite the public's understandable anxiety, our criminal
justice systems hold to the premise that almost all offenders have
the right to hope for rehabilitation, even redemption. Therefore
the majority of sexual offenders return to live in our communities,
closely monitored by criminal justice agencies and subject to
rigorous controls. This book provides an authoritative guide to
working with sexual offenders, with a focus on managing those who
are reintegrating into the community. It includes those with the
most striking histories of trauma and psychological difficulty, and
those who have previously failed in their attempts at resettlement.
It covers helpful theoretical ideas, such as attachment theory and
models of desistance, as well as the latest evidence base for good
quality risk assessment. The book supports practitioners on the
front line of this work by providing them with evidence-based
guidance. It presents a multitude of case examples and practice
tips that can support effective decision making and achieve safe
outcomes, as well as help such offenders build worthwhile community
lives.
