Publisher's Synopsis
The last few years have seen a marked change in attitudes to the rehabilitation and management of offenders. It is now impossible to ignore evidence which demonstrates the possibilities for reducing re-offending. This volume assembles and consolidates that evidence, and indicates the implications for both practice and research.;The contributors review the research evidence, present illustrative examples of the kind of intervention programmes that have proved effective, and address issues of service planning, delivery and evaluation. The specific programmes described here include interventions related to violence, car crime, and sexual offences, and a key emphasis of the book is the relationship between research and practice.
