Working with Offenders examines the current knowledge, skills and
values which are needed by those working as probation officers and
social workers for effective and competent practice. As well as
looking at areas of practice which are of central importance to the
altering roles of practitioners, this original textbook provides a
critical appraisal of the policies and requirements which guide
those roles. Written in an accessible style by experienced
academics and professionals, the book examines: the issues which
inform practice - training, skills and competences,
antidiscriminatory practice, autonomy and accountability,
masculinity and the causes of crime; the contexts in which work
with offenders take place - probation committees, boards,
pre-sentence reports, community penalties, prison, and the
community; and the outcomes of good practice - including
partnerships against crime, efficiency, effectiveness and an
evaluation of crime prevention and broader methods of intervention.
