The book provides a critical reference text for practitioners, students and researchers interested in devising the most effective means of addressing offending behaviour. Its focus is on the actual work undertaken with offenders, and draws upon generic issues of practice applicable across the voluntary, community and statutory sectors.

Suitable for those concerned with addressing offending behaviour, this book: combines theoretical and contextual debates with practice-orientated concerns, key skills and interventions; offers a discussion of the types of work that are typically undertaken with offenders; and analyses treatment of minority and vulnerable offender populations.
