Working With Offenders: A Guide to Concepts and Practices: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Working With Offenders: A Guide to Concepts and Practices" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book provides a theoretically informed guide to the practice of working with offenders in different settings and for different purposes. It deals with topics such as offender rehabilitation, case management, worker-offender relationships, working with difficult clients and situations, collaboration, addressing complex needs, and processes of integration. The book offers a unique perspective on working with offenders in that it incorporates three key elements. As part of the latter, it provides different types of data, including descriptions of programs and selected statistics from each jurisdiction, and presents this information in easy-to-read formats. The chapters are structured around a dual focus of workers and their environments on the one hand, and the nature of the offenders with whom they work on the other. The condition and situation of workers is thus considered in the context of the condition and situation of offenders, and the relationship between the two. The book is intended to be relevant and familiar to those already working in the field, as well as to introduce contemporary principles and practices to those wishing to do so in the future. Each chapter concludes with two key features. The first, Further Reading, is oriented toward concepts and the why questions of practice. The second, Key Resources, alerts readers to appropriate manuals and handbooks, and the how questions of practice. This includes reference to evidence-based examples of good practice and specific intervention models.

Acknowledgements
We are very thankful for the insightful contributions of Diane Heckenberg and John Cianchi; their practicality and analytical critiques have been influential in shaping this book. Also, the majority of the statistical tables throughout are a result of the investigative skill of Michael McKinnon, who assisted us with data compilation. We are grateful too for Imogen Jones enthusiastic hands-on approach to being a research assistant in the latter stages of this project.
The incisive discernment of Rob Canton should be acknowledged for the value of his feedback in helping to further improve the breadth and depth of this text.
In our quest to infuse front-line practice wisdom into all facets of the book, many practitioners in the correctional and community services in Tasmania, Australia, were consulted along the way. This list includes practitioners studying in the criminology and corrections program at the University of Tasmania; staff in the Tasmanian Prison Service, IOM Unit, and Community Corrections; and drug and alcohol workers at the Salvation Army Bridge Program. Special thanks to all those prison officers and community corrections workers who talked with us about their experiences in the workplace as practitioners. We want to acknowledge the value of all of these voices from the field, the ones at the coalface it is you for whom this book is written.
