The number of women prisoners has been growing rapidly during
recent years and in many places has more than doubled in the past
decade, significantly outstripping increases in the number of male
prisoners and with particular consequences for minority ethnic,
black and aboriginal women, who constitute disproportionate levels
of prison populations in many countries including Canada, the
United States, the UK and Australia. What Works with Women
Offenders provides a comprehensive analysis of the issues relating
to work with women offenders. Chapters are written by academics and
professionals with a high degree of expertise in their specific
field, and its practical focus is designed to make it relevant to
those working with women offenders. Imprisoning women offenders
does not solve the problems that underlie the involvement of women
in the criminal justice system, and a particular concern of this
book is to identify and develop alternative responses that offer
appropriate support and intervention to address womens underlying
problems and reduce re-offending. The increase in womens
imprisonment is very much an international phenomenon, and the book
also aims to share knowledge and experiences from different
jurisdictions to be shared more widely, and for the lessons learnt
from good practice to be more widely disseminated.
