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.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Psychological Research in Prisons
Book SynopsisThis up-to-date collection begins with an account and analysis of the role of psychologists in prisons in relation to research.Trade Review“Psychological Research in Prisons provides an impressive collection of accessible and informed chapters, each highlighting the extent to which psychological theory and research can inform the work of practitioners, and how practice can influence the direction of research.” Julie Harrower, Chartered Forensic Psychologist, Head of Psychology at Coventry University and Chair of the DFP Board of Examiners “Psychological Research in Prisons contains some new and interesting empirical results. But its main achievement is to put the question mark firmly back into ‘What works?’ Early chapters explore how, often tentative, research findings about interventions which might reduce reoffending have become translated into overly prescriptive policies that actually serve to undermine rather than foster effective practice. This is a book by psychologists but its readership should be much wider – policy makers, prison governors, probation and prison staff, and criminologists will all find much food for thought within its pages.” Professor Carol Hedderman, University of Leicester “It is sure to become a new standard reference book in this field. It will be a very useful aid to the work of psychologists in Japan, who are currently introducing CBT within custodial settings.” Hiroshi Urata, Senior Psychologist, Wakayama Juvenile Classification Home, Japan Table of ContentsForeword.
