The work of Latin American practitioners in the legal system, however, is little known at global and local levels. This book is the first to go beyond Western-centric appraisals and presents a truly Latin American portrait of social work in the justice system.  \u003c\/p\u003e  The long-term interaction of social work practitioners with the judicial system enabled them to develop an expertise to dialogue with other disciplines such as law and psychology. This knowledge is very important to identify and share with other professionals to develop specialized programs for education and training. In this sense, positive and negative experiences of social work in the justice system allow one to improve its practice. It is crucial to identify local experiences and the great dilemmas that the profession faces on this subject. The volume's chapters deal with these dynamics in Latin American countries including:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForensic Social Work: The construction of      possible ways of the criminal intervention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocio-Legal Social Work in the Field of      Criminal Defense\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily and Community Life: Contributions      of Social Work to the Debate in Family Courts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupport to Victims in High-conflict Scenarios: An approach from the socio-legal, the pedagogical, and the care      perspectives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Assessment of Child and Adolescent      Sexual Abuse Allegations from a Social Work Perspective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ci\u003eLatin American Social Work in the Justice System\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for students, researchers, academicians, policymakers, and practitioners who are interested in international social work with a special focus on Latin American countries and legal culture.
