Working within the Forensic Paradigm (eBook, PDF)

Cross-discipline approaches for policy and practice

Redaktion: Sheehan, Rosemary; Ogloff, James

Beschreibung

Forensic work occurs across the criminal justice sector and the legal and health professions and intersects with work in a range of areas, such as child protection, family welfare, mental health, offending, disability and addictions, family violence programmes, juvenile justice and sexual assault centres.

This book offers contemporary perspectives on forensic policy and practice from the range of practitioners working with people within the forensic domain and canvasses ideas about risk and offending behaviours together with ideas about effective responses to rehabilitation and recovery.
