Working With Offenders

Literature in this category deals with the many forms of intervention with offenders; from early intervention to imprisonment. 

It will be of value to the full range of workers in the criminal justice system, providing:  

  • social workers with sound information on effective practice in relation to the courts and court disposals
  • police officers in relation to effective police practices and interventions
  • prosecutors in relation to issues such as diversion
  • lawyers by explaining about the range of possible sentences and their impact and effectiveness
  • sentencers in relation to the ‘what works’ agenda and effective disposals

and for those working in custodial settings in relation to the impact and effectiveness of prison programmes.
