Description

Addressing Offending Behaviour Context, Practice and Values by Simon Green, Elizabeth Lancaster, and Simon Feasey is a critical reference text for practitioners, students, and researchers seeking to address offending behaviour. This book reviews and analyses the different approaches used in practice, drawing on expertise from academics and practitioners. It explores innovative techniques for offender intervention, as well as challenging academic theories, and considers the wider social, political, and legal context in which this work takes place. The authors examine the values and bias that operate at both individual and institutional levels, providing a comprehensive understanding of the complex issues involved. Key to its value is its focus on the actual work undertaken with offenders, making it an essential resource for those working in fields such as criminology, criminal justice, law, policing, probation, prisons, youth justice, and social work.
