Opis

This book brings together emerging international research on how specific, evidence-based practice and skills in criminal justice can lead to positive outcomes, such as desistance from crime, reduced re-offending, and active service-user engagement. Contributors address skills and practices that can be applied across a range of criminal justice settings--particularly in probation, youth justice, and private sector settings--while exploring the organizational and wider policy contexts that might affect their implementation and efficacy. Uniquely global in its scope, this book is of particular relevance to the larger push to transform the nature of criminal rehabilitation.
