This book provides a theoretically informed guide to the practice
of working with offenders in different settings and for different
purposes. It deals with topics such as offender rehabilitation,
case management, worker-offender relationships, working with
difficult clients and situations, collaboration, addressing complex
needs, and processes of integration. The book offers a unique
perspective on working with offenders in that it incorporates three
key elements. As part of the latter, it provides different types of
data, including descriptions of programs and selected statistics
from each jurisdiction, and presents this information in
easy-to-read formats. The chapters are structured around a dual
focus of workers and their environments on the one hand, and the
nature of the offenders with whom they work on the other. The
condition and situation of workers is thus considered in the
context of the condition and situation of offenders, and the
relationship between the two. The book is intended to be relevant
and familiar to those already working in the field, as well as to
introduce contemporary principles and practices to those wishing to
do so in the future. Each chapter concludes with two key features.
The first, Further Reading, is oriented toward concepts and the
'why' questions of practice. The second, Key Resources, alerts
readers to appropriate manuals and handbooks, and the 'how'
questions of practice. This includes reference to evidence-based
examples of good practice and specific intervention models.
