Written by a multi-disciplinary group of leading practitioners, Sexual Offending Against Children provides an account of the practice, policy and management issues involved in the assessment and treatment of adult and adolescent sexual offenders against children. Written for practitioners from all disciplines concerned with this area of work, it is underpinned by a strong theoretical base, giving a practical and detailed description of the management of sexual offenders, as well as the potential impact on service providers.

This work aims to provide a theoretical framework for training and professional development with particular emphasis on group learning in a social care context. It deals with the tensions and dilemmas of those engaged in training amidst a climate of change and a mixed economy of welfare and how these influence both the trainer and the learner.
