Forensic Interventions for Therapy and Rehabilitation: Case Studies
and Analysis provides an up-to-date overview of the latest
therapeutic ideas being used for forensic service users and
prisoners in both custodial and community settings. The field of
forensic work is increasingly being recognised for its importance,
both in terms of the value of the work in reducing reoffending and
in terms of the salience given to it by the media, the public, and
politically. This text reflects current policy and practice, and
furthermore considers the therapeutic encounter from a broad
perspective, which incorporates individual, group, and systemic
interventions. Forensic Interventions for Therapy and
Rehabilitation includes chapters on a range of therapeutic models,
issues pertinent to specific groups of people with criminal
convictions, and discussion on the various contexts in which
interventions take place. Forensic Interventions for Therapy and
Rehabilitation is essential reading for all students of Forensic or
Clinical Psychology, as well as practitioners in the field.

This book explores sexual crime and intellectual functioning.
Drawing on expertise from clinical practice and applied research,
the volume begins with an exploration of the theoretical and
historical background to the interest in links between sexual
offending and intellectual functioning. The authors then move on to
discuss assessment of intellectual functioning in prison,
interventions for low intellectual functioning, autistic spectrum
and personality disorder. This book offers a rare insight into the
phenomenon of high IQ and sexual offending, a much neglected aspect
of the sexual crime literature, and includes novel research that
unpacks this link. It further offers an extraordinary insight into
the experiences of a person of superior IQ in the criminal justice
system for a sexual offence. The book is relevant not only to
psychologists, criminologists, social workers and students, but
also to practitioners, researchers and the general public with an
interest in learning about sexual offending and intellectual
functioning.
This book explores the growing understanding and evidence base for
the role of trauma in sexual offending. It represents a paradigm
shift, in which trauma is becoming an important risk factor to be
considered in the treatment of individuals convicted of sexual
crime. The authors consider the theoretical and historical
explanations and understandings of sexual offending and its
relationship with early trauma, paving the way for a volume which
considers client's treatment needs through a new, trauma-informed
lens. The experiences and challenges of specific groups are also
explored, including young people and women. Readable, yet firmly
anchored in a sound evidence base, this book is relevant to
psychologists, therapists, criminologists, psychiatrists, mental
health nurses, social workers, students, and to practitioners and
the general public with an interest in learning more about the
topic.

This book brings together a thought-provoking collection of
original contributions to the study of sexual crime prevention.
Written in an accessible and practical style, the book begins with
an exploration of the theoretical underpinnings of sexual crime
prevention, as well as the history and development of prevention
work over the years, providing an overview of prevention
initiatives around the world. The second section spotlights three
in depth case studies of organisations delivering prevention work
in the UK. Final sections of the book explore the service user
experience, impact of the media, and attitudes and consideration of
future directions for prevention work. The book is relevant not
only to psychologists, criminologists, social workers and students,
but to practitioners, researchers and anyone with an interest in
learning about sexual crime prevention.
This book offers a collection of original contributions to current
research available on Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA)
by engaging with current literature and unpublished research in the
field. The book explores the role of narrative identity in
desistance from sexual crime and how CoSA maps onto this, as well
as a history of CoSA across the world. The text then moves into an
empirical section, reporting on some unpublished findings,
including an evaluation of a new prison-based CoSA in the UK.
Lastly, the experiences of service users and the influence of media
perceptions are explored, offering a space for the 'unheard voices'
as well as consideration of future directions for practitioners.
The book is relevant not just to psychologists, criminologists,
social workers and students, but to practitioners and the general
public with an interest in learning about CoSA. The editors of this
volume have all been involved in the setting up of the Safer Living
Foundation, a charity formed in 2014 to reduce and prevent sexual
offending.

This book offers a collection of original contributions to the
literature on sexual crime, religion and spirituality. Does
religion help people desist from sexual crime? Can it form the
basis of interventions to rehabilitate people? Or does it provide
justification and opportunity for committing it? What do the
perpetrators say about their faith? What about the victims and
survivors of sexual crime? The book asks and answers these
questions and more in a unique collection of chapters - from
academics, chaplains and prisoners. The book begins with an
exploration of the role, history and development of chaplaincy in
the prison system over the years, before providing a more personal
look through the eyes of the Lead Chaplain at Rampton High Secure
hospital in the UK. Subsequent chapters weave together theories of
desistance from sexual crime, and analyses of perpetrators'
accounts of their offending are also offered, alongside firsthand
accounts of prisoners from a range of religions. The book concludes
with a thoughtful journey through the book by the Lead Chaplain at
HMP Stafford, UK. It will provide fresh insights for students and
scholars of psychology, criminology, theology and social work, as
well as for practitioners, chaplains, and readers with an interest
in learning about sexual crime, religion and spirituality.
This book focuses on the experience of imprisonment from the
perspectives of individuals with sexual convictions. It stresses
the importance of a positive and rehabilitative prison climate. The
volume begins with an exploration of the theoretical underpinnings
of a rehabilitative prison climate and discusses some of the
practical ways of creating rehabilitative cultures in prisons
housing people convicted of sexual offences. Four empirical
chapters focus on the experience of stigmatisation, prison
officers' attitudes towards prisoners' offences, negotiating the
'sex offender' identity in prisons and the varied experience of
'being' in prisons exclusively for individuals with sexual
convictions. Throughout the authors discuss the specific benefits
of peer-support, such as the chance to earn self-forgiveness,
construct adaptive identities and consequently move away from
harmful labels. The book also spotlights a chapter on the
experience of imprisonment written by a former service-user, this
unique position offers an insightful account of an individual's
journey through the prison system.
