Description

This introduction to the theory and practice of criminological and legal psychology discusses ways of assessing and treating various types of offenders. The first section addresses theory and forensic matters, while the second examines service provision in both community and institutional settings. The text concludes with an examination of clinical issues related to different types of offenders: the mentally disordered offender, sex offenders, violent offenders, drugs addicts and young offenders. Each chapter incorporates a brief review of the literature, a survey of practice methods, and a case study.
