2nd Edition
by Jane L. Ireland (Editor), Carol A. Ireland (Editor), Philip Birch (Editor), David P. Farrington (Foreword)
Building on the success of the
first edition and the growth of research in the field over the past
decade, this book offers an authoritative overview of the assessment,
treatment, and management of violent and sexual offenders. This new and
expanded edition reflects the considerable developments in research and
empirical data and captures the increasing breadth of risk assessment
approaches, the wider range of empirically based therapies, and the more
creative means of considering management.
The second edition
captures key developments in this area, with new chapters drawing on a
range of pressing contemporary issues, such as female offenders,
Internet offenders, terrorists, young people involved in harmful sexual
behaviour, and protective factors for aggression. There is also extended
coverage of the management of offenders within secure settings and in
the community, referring to a wider variety of approaches and the
incorporation of technology.
This book will be of considerable
interest to academics, practitioners, and students engaged with
understanding and/or treating violence and aggression, sex crime,
forensic psychology, and the assessment, treatment, and management of
offenders.
