Taylor & Francis Vulnerability the Accused and the Criminal
Book SynopsisThis book is concerned with the vulnerability of suspects and defendants in criminal proceedings and the extent to which the vulnerable accused can effectively participate in the criminal process. Commencing with an exploration of how vulnerability is defined and identified, the collection examines and analyses how vulnerability manifests and is addressed at the police station and in court, addressing both child and adult accused persons. Leading and emerging scholars, along with practitioners with experience working in the field, explore and unpack the human rights and procedural implications of suspect and defendant vulnerability and examine how their needs are supported or disregarded. Drawing upon different disciplinary approaches and a range of analyses â doctrinal, theoretical and empirical â this book offers unique insights into the vulnerability and treatment of the criminal accused. In bringing together a diverse range of perspectives, the book offers key insights into the recognition of and responses to vulnerability among suspect and defendant populations in criminal justice systems across European jurisdictions. The book will be a valuable resource for academics, practitioners and policymakers interested in how vulnerable suspects and defendants are protected throughout the criminal process, and those working in the areas of law, criminology, sociology, human rights and psychology.

Taylor & Francis EvidenceBased Offender Profiling
Book SynopsisOffender profiling is an investigative tool used to narrow down the range of potential suspects for a crime by predicting the personality, behavioral, and demographic characteristics that an offender is likely to possess, based upon information collected at the crime scene. While offender profiling has been popularized by TV shows and movies such as Criminal Minds, Silence of the Lambs, and Mindhunter, the real-world impact of offender profiling is largely unknown. This book discusses the history of offender profiling, summarizes research on offender profiling methods, and reviews offender profiling evaluations of accuracy and applied impact.This book also describes a promising new offender profiling methodology called evidence-based offender profiling. This new method relies upon empirical data and scientific methods to develop, evaluate, and replicate offender profiles, thereby increasing offender profilingâs accuracy and utility forTable of ContentsForward: Lawrence W.

Taylor & Francis Dying to Be Ill
Book SynopsisMost of us can recall a time when we pretended to be sick to reap the benefits that go along with illness. By playing sick, we gained sympathy, care, and attention, and were excused from our responsibilities. Though doing so on occasion is considered normal, there are those who carry their deceptions to the extreme. In this book, Dr. Marc Feldman describes peopleâs strange motivations to fabricate or induce illness or injury to satisfy deep emotional needs. Doctors, family members, and friends are lured into a costly, frustrating, and potentially deadly web of deceit. From the mother who shaves her childâs head and tells her community he has cancer, to the co-worker who suffers from a string of incomprehensible tragedies, to the false epilepsy victim who monopolizes her online support group, disease forgery is ever-present in the media and in many peopleâs lives. In Dying to be Ill: True Stories of Medical Deception, Dr. Feldman, with the assistance of Gregory Yates, has chronicled this fascinating world as well as the paths to healing. With insight developed from 25 years of hands-on experience, Dying to be Ill is sure to stand as a classic in the field. Trade Review"Feldman and Yates have written a dramatically wonderful book. In some ways the book is "written" by the real-life accounts of the individuals who contributed their stories, but the scientific knowledge that accompanies the stories is fantastic. People who fake illness anger and disappoint family, friends, and physicians. Empathy and compassion for these people does not come easily; however, reading this book will not only open your eyes regarding the illness from which the people suffer, it will enable you to offer them the emotional support they deserve."Philip R. Muskin, MD, MA, DLFAPA, FACLP; Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center, New York"This fascinating book pulls the veil back on one of the least understood conditions in psychiatry. Typically misunderstood, resented, and even reviled by the health care professionals, family members, and others who have been manipulated by their deceptive behaviors, these in-depth case studies go a long way towards helping to promote understanding and empathy for the extreme psychological suffering that is the at the root of this condition."Michael First, M.D., Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, Columbia University"As junior clinicians we are taught to listen to and believe what patients tell us. But what do we do when the patient’s account is not consistent with test results or third party descriptions? In this fascinating book, which includes chapters on fabricated and induced illness in children, cyber-deception and Munchausen by animal proxy, Feldman and Yates use extensive first person accounts to highlight the rich clinical material. In doing so they encourage us to think beyond conventional therapeutic relationships and to confront the ethical and professional dilemmas posed. In considering what motivates people to fabricate or deceive they introduce us to potential ways of trying to understand and manage these complex needs."Christopher Bass MA MD FRCPsych; Consultant in Liaison Psychiatry, John Radcliffe Hospital"'How could a mother do that to her child?' 'Why would people deliberately make themselves ill?' This book provides insight into these questions through first-hand narratives that are accompanied by the informed and thoughtful analyses of Dr. Feldman and Mr. Yates. Dying to Be Ill is a must both for professionals and anyone else attempting to understand the perplexing world of medical deception."Mary J. Sanders, Ph.D.; Clinical Associate Professor, Stanford University Medical School"Dr. Marc Feldman is a widely acclaimed expert on factitious disorder – a condition that is often missed in clinical practice, causes tremendous suffering, and is very challenging to treat. This new contribution from Dr. Feldman is a fascinating and very valuable contribution that sheds important light on this often-misunderstood mental health condition."Katharine A. Phillips, MD; Professor of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College & Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University"In Dying to Be Ill, Marc Feldman and Gregory Yates examine illness deception with utmost clarity. It is rich in clinical material that illustrates the complicated features of illness deception. They elucidate the factors associated with the disorder, its multivariate forms, and the impact it has on others. They then proceed to clarify various treatment approaches for this challenging condition. This book represents an impressive state of the art overview from Dr. Feldman who has established himself as one of the world's foremost experts on illness deception."Stuart Eisendrath, MD "Dying to be Ill makes a significant contribution to the literature by documenting the lived experience of people who suffer with a disorder that has been neglected by the healthcare and psychiatric communities. The narratives and first-hand accounts elicit compassion for, and remorse from, those willing to tell their story. It is time for the treatment of factitious disorders to move more toward the addiction, or disease model, while reducing stigma and shame that often deters those afflicted from getting much needed treatment." Beatrice Crofts Yorker, JD, RN, MS, FAAN; Professor Emerita of Nursing and Criminal Justice and Retired Dean of Health and Human Services California State University, Los Angeles"The book manages to straddle the divide between the lay public and medical professionals with notable ease. Concepts that will be familiar to us in psychiatry are introduced and defined but the progression into substantive discussion and novel information is rapid enough that even seasoned consultationliaison psychiatrists would not find their interest flagging."Jason P. Caplan, MD, Deputy Editor of PsychosomaticsYes. I think that the book will add to the available resources. External review initiated by the publisher might be helpful for catching subtle bias and to increase accuracy. The stories are very dramatic, so it will be important that the commentary is not, otherwise the entire volume could be perceived as the product of dramatic/ non-scientific authors. My goal is not to diminish the authors, but to improve their credibility. Brenda Bursch, PhD, UCLA Medical CenterAuthors reviewed Dr. Bursch’s report of the proposal and accepted its recommendations.This is an extremely well written proposal that lays the groundwork for a classic book on factitious disorders. It is well organized and very comprehensive in describing the field from phenomenology to etiology and treatment. It is one of the most well organized proposals I’ve read. Yes there is a need for this book. This area is a clinical challenge and a current book as proposed is likely to become the gold standard in the field. Factitious disorders is one of the most challenging areas of mental health and this book will shed considerable light on its nuances.

Taylor & Francis Understanding Criminal Behaviour
Book SynopsisOur understanding of criminal behaviour and its causes has been too long damaged by the failure to integrate the emotional, psychological, social and cultural influences on the way people behave. This book offers a concise and accessible introduction to criminal behaviour, examining and integrating perspectives from criminology and psychology. It proposes a range of âpsychosocialâ approaches that seek to understand the emotions that surround criminal behaviour, allowing for an exploration of individual differences and social and cultural issues that help to bridge the gap between disciplinary approaches. It offers substantive chapters on a range of topics, including: mental disorder and the relationship between mental health and offending; criminal career research; youth crime and the question of criminal responsibility; gender and crime; and violent crime, including homicide and seTrade ReviewPraise for the second edition: 'The psychosocial perspective, integrating both sociological and psychological insights, is among the most exciting new developments in criminology, and there is no better guide on that journey than David W. Jones. This fascinating, highly readable text, drawing on real life case studies, is the ideal introduction to understanding the complexity of criminal behaviour.' - Shadd Maruna, Professor of Criminology, Queen’s University Belfast, UK 'The social problems confronted by criminologists include everything from the social and moral development of children, the personal and political appetites for punishing and reintegrating offenders, and the infusion of violence – including that perpetrated by state actors – with experiences of fear, anger and humiliation that are routinely inflected by the inequalities of gender, ethnicity and class. David W. Jones’ book carefully articulates why only a criminology that is dynamically psychosocial is required to develop a better understanding of these problems and why such understanding is necessary to improve our responses to crime. An essential introduction to the relevance of psychosocial and psychoanalytic concepts that builds on the historical foundations of psychological and sociological criminologies.' - David Gadd, Professor of Criminology, University of Manchester, UK Praise for the first edition: 'Understanding Criminal Behaviour's strap line should be 'the holy grail' as it promises a whole new level of understanding of criminal behaviour. Probably once in a professional career is a paradigm shift of this significance ever proposed, and several conditions have to be right for this to happen...David Jones proposes an eclectic psychological approach to understanding the nature of criminal behaviour that promises to integrate criminological and clincal perspercitves into a holistic theory.' – Monica Lloyd, Forensic Psychologist, NOMS, in Probation Journal 'Jones breaks new ground in integrating psychological perspectives into the mainstream of criminological theory. He makes a compelling case that by emphasizing a psychosocial outlook as opposed to the traditional psychological approach, scholars may more effectively analyze criminality. . . . Jones presents a well conceived, timely, and well packaged work that begins to build a bridge between adversarial approaches. Highly recommended.' – F.E Knowles in CHOICE 'This is a timely book given the growth of psychosocial studies and the increasing political and cultural focus on criminality. Jones’s book is both comprehensive and detailed in its outline of explanations of criminal behaviour, and Jones gives a convincing account of why psychological research has been increasingly omitted from criminological topics.' – Amanda Holt in The Psychologist, ' . . . Jones succeeds admirably in his goal to present "a constructive view of how psychology already does contribute, but might have more to contribute, to the debate about the problem of crime" (pxx) . . . Anyone working in the criminological field knows that Jones is right about the depth of division that currently exists between psychology and sociology. To those who are as bored as I am with these pointless and destructive theory wars, Jones' book is a refreshing tonic.' – Richard Wortley, International Criminal Justice Review 'I would recommend Jones' book to those who [do not have a first degree in criminology] as a critical, wide-ranging introduction. And there is much in the text to remind non-neophytes of aspects they may well have forgotten....' - Herschel Prins, University of Leicester in The Journal of Forensic Psychiatry & Psychology, vol 21 no 6 Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Rehabilitation of Sexual Offenders
Book SynopsisSexual offenders arguably the most hated and feared of all offenders commit their crimes in our communities and are then hidden from public view as they serve long prison sentences. However, despite the public's understandable anxiety, our criminal justice systems hold to the premise that almost all offenders have the right to hope for rehabilitation, even redemption. Therefore the majority of sexual offenders return to live in our communities, closely monitored by criminal justice agencies and subject to rigorous controls.This book provides an authoritative guide to working with sexual offenders, with a focus on managing those who are reintegrating into the community. It includes those with the most striking histories of trauma and psychological difficulty, and those who have previously failed in their attempts at resettlement. It covers helpful theoretical ideas, such as attachment theory and models of desistance, as well as the latest evidence base for good qualitTrade Review‘Dr Craissati is a scientist-practitioner who understands theory and evidence and, crucially, explains it with a commitment to simplicity, weaving in personal reflection and case examples in a way that makes the book a very engaging read. Her clinical expertise and wisdom is striking an she serves as an excellent role model for all practitioners working in this difficult field.’ Dr. Ruth Mann, Public Sector Prisons North, UK‘In this wonderful small book, Dr Jackie Craissati has distilled many years of clinical experience working with individuals who have committed sexual offences. She demonstrates a profound understanding of cutting edge theory, research, and clinical practice without ever losing a sense of the individual person who is being treated. A striking feature of the book is the way Dr Craissati manages to balance an appreciation of the complexity of clients while still providing a lucid overview of how to work with them effectively and ethically. It is an outstanding achievement.’ Tony Ward, Victorian University of Wellington, New Zealand‘Sexual offences are horrible crimes, but if we want to be safer - and keep our children safe - it’s just not enough to keep repeating that. Anyone seriously wanting to do so should read this excellent book. Mainly for professionals in health and criminal justice, and endorsing the importance of expertise for accurate identification of sex offenders, their future risks and specific treatments, Craissati shows how the wider public too can get involved.’ Pamela Taylor, University of Cardiff, UKTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Mental Health and Offending
Book SynopsisThis book explores the controversial relationship between mental health and offending and looks at the ways in which offenders with mental health problems are cared for, coerced and controlled by the criminal justice and mental health systems. It provides a much-needed criminological approach to the field of forensic mental health.Beginning with an exploration into why the relationship between mental health and offending is so complex, readers will be introduced to a range of perspectives through which mental health and its relationship to offending behaviour can be understood. The book considers the politics surrounding mental health and offending, focusing particularly on the changing policy response to mentally disordered offenders since the mid-1990s. With dedicated chapters concerning the police, courts, secure services and the community, this book explores a range of issues including: The tensions between the care, coercion and control of mentally disordered offeTrade Review'The field of mental disorder and crime is so all-encompassing as to put off many authors, but not criminologists Trebilcock and Weston. Their Mental Health and Offending: Care, Coercion and Control makes accessible a wealth of material. The book deftly takes the reader through the complex intersection of socio-legal issues pertaining across the criminal justice process as they affect those with mental disorder. Their analysis alone of the recent political landscape makes the book an outstanding contribution'. Jill Peay, Professor of Law, The London School of Economics and Political Science, UK'This book provides an authoritative and accessible exploration of some of the key dilemmas in offender mental health care. Combining academic rigour and a clear understanding of the issues faced in everyday practice, the authors address the core theme of care vs. control in a wide range of criminal justice settings, from initial contact with police, through custody, to rehabilitation in the community. This book is essential reading for criminal justice students but is also an invaluable resource for mental health professionals who want to better understand some of the core dilemmas in this complex field'.Dr. Colin Campbell, Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, King’s College London and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, UK'The relationship between mental health and criminal justice has been the source of much contemporary penal policy debate. This clear and comprehensive book allows the reader to grapple with issues ranging from health ethics to the care of those with mental disorders in secure settings. It should be a must read for anyone wanting to understand the complex range of theories, issues and public policy responses to the challenges posed to the seemingly intractable dilemma of how to best serve the needs of those with mental health needs and to ensure that the needs of justice are met.'.Anita Dockley, Research Director,The Howard League for Penal Reform, UK Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Transforming Environments and Rehabilitation
Book SynopsisHow can environments play a role in assisting and sustaining personal change in individuals incarcerated within the criminal justice system? Can a failure to address contextual issues reduce or undermine the effectiveness of clinical intervention? Bringing together a range of leading forensic psychologists, this book explores and illustrates inter-relationships between interventions and the environment in which they take place.This book examines how the environment can be better utilised to contribute to processes of change and how therapeutic principles and practices can be more strongly embedded through being applied in supportive, facilitative environments. In addition, it expands on emerging conceptualisations of how psychological functioning and environmental context are inextricably linked and offers an alternative to prevailing intrapsychic or essentialist' views of areas such as personality and cognition.Providing new and challenging insights and Trade Review"Most of us take our context for granted yet would acknowledge the influence that places and people have upon us. However, within forensic settings our attention has tended to focus on locating problems and change in the individual, devoid of context and the world in which people live. As the authors who contribute to this book clearly argue – attention to the context of the person (past and present; social, cultural, organisational and physical) is long overdue. This book provides a firm foundation for addressing this neglect and provides a challenge to systematically consider the context / environment and how we use research to better understand this. This book balances theory and practice from a wide range of viewpoints and settings, with several chapters including case studies and work that is underway or recently completed. The welcome attention to the social component of the bio-psycho-social framework includes a plethora of ideas such as interpersonal dynamics, context, systemic and organisational factors, climate, environment, milieu and formal frameworks such as TC, PIE, PIPE and EE. Written by experienced practitioners, researchers and academics this is a text that practitioners, commissioners and those involved in forensic services should pay attention to."Jason Davies, Professor of Forensic and Clinical Psychology, Department of Psychology, Swansea University, UKTable of ContentsForeword, Rex Haigh, Introduction, Geraldine Akerman, Adrian Needs and Claire Bainbridge 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Consulting to Chaos: An Approach to
Book SynopsisIn clinical work, an awareness of patients' subjective experiences, particularly their perceptions of interpersonal relationships, is indispensable. The aim of this book is to improve care and treatment planning by describing a structured approach to eliciting patients' core relationship patterns. These patterns consist of the roles and scenarios into which they repeatedly cast themselves and others with whom they interact. Maladaptive patterns, in which vicious cycles and self-fulfilling prophecies of misperception, misunderstanding or provocation escalate, cause pain and havoc in personal relationships and can adversely affect both professionals' decisions and the overall delivery of treatment. This book shows how to use vital information that is often not made available to treatment teams in order to understand such potential pitfalls rather than succumb to them.Trade Review'Implicitly, this book draws our attention to a correlation between the mental health of the professional team and the quality of the intervention they are able to provide. It highlights the extent to which disturbance in the patient can and does become projected into and identified with by the staff and by the system that provide their care. Simply put, this book describes a method of organisational consultation that seeks to transform the enactments that flow from being fearful of, angry with, or despairing about the patient into attending to and thinking about the patient.'-Julian Lousada, Vice Chair, British Psychotherapy Foundation; from the Foreword'This book is a must-read for any person working in forensic psychiatry settings. The method described provides immunisation against the "contagiousness" of certain mental disorders by helping elucidate staff responses and then unifying clinical teams' care of patients. It's a win-win for patients and staff and, therefore, for everyone.'-Carine Minne, Consultant Psychiatrist in Forensic Psychotherapy, Broadmoor Hospital'In a "one-stop shop" volume, John Gordon and Gabriel Kirtchuk have, uniquely, furnished the mental health practitioner community and others working with suffering and violence in institutional settings with an innovative approach. Understanding the Interpersonal Dynamic consultation is central to the book and, moreover, the very application to a broad range of significant psychopathology is highlighted by the careful and considered use of appropriate case material. Not only do the authors present a conceptualisation of treatment intervention based on a comprehensive and systematic assessment architecture, but their account also emphasises, in stark contrast to more traditional psychotherapeutic practice, the notion of inclusivity and accessibility.'- Colin R. Martin, Professor of Mental Health, Buckinghamshire New University; from the Afterword

Taylor & Francis Ltd Psychology and Crime
Book SynopsisSociety today is fascinated by crime. Crime is a hot topic in the media, so that people are continually exposed to criminal events, portrayals of those who commit them, and the suffering of victims. Yet the reality of crime is often very different from how it is portrayed in the media. Most crime is neither violent nor morbid; most offenders are not psychopaths, and although prison generally does not work, there may well be other, less punitive but more constructive interventions that are actually quite effective. This book exposes some of the most prevalent myths about crime and criminal behaviour. In addition it provides the reader with up-to-date knowledge on crime and offending behaviour. It also highlights the ways in which psychological methods of research and psychological knowledge can help us to understand criminal behaviour and the ways that targeted interventions are developed based upon this. Pakes' and Winstone's Psychology and Crime is essential reading for students taking courses in the psychology of crime, criminal and forensic psychology, criminology, and community justice, as well as for other courses where a knowledge of the complex relationship between psychology and crime - and its application in practice - is required.

Book SynopsisThe study of criminal careers is of increasing interest in criminology.
