Description
Substance misuse (including alcohol) and mental health problems constitute a significant proportion of the work carried out in the criminal justice system. Approaches to these often intractable problems have seen the rise of a dominant risk paradigm concerned with public protection and the use of coercion through court orders to access treatment. This original and valuable book considers notions of risk and rehabilitation in detail within the practice of those court orders, whilst contextualising them within a wider comparative literature and research base. The efficacy of these approaches, practice issues and innovations including for example therapeutic jurisprudence are analysed. Risk and rehabilitation also includes discussions of the implications for partnership working and the importance of reconfiguring the nature of rehabilitative relationships. This is a timely book as probation practice in the UK and elsewhere moves into a post 'what works' era, providing opportunities to review the evidence base for effective interventions.
Reviews / Votes
"Edited by Aaron Pycroft and Suzie Clift, Risk and Rehabilitation, focuses on risk and rehabilitation with reference to substance abuse and mental health problems. The chapters in this volume are of a high quality and examine the nature of risk and rehabilitation, especially the ways in which the risk paradigm has distorted both rehabilitative ideas as well as the practice of working with people who have multiple and complex needs. The final chapter in this book, "Relationship and Rehabilitation in a post 'what works' era," is a particularly important contribution to the literature." Clemens Bartollas, Professor of Criminology, University of Northern Iowa "This multi-authored book ably edited by Aaron Pycroft and Suzie Clift is a welcome addition to the criminological canon." Probation Journal "A topical, insightful collection, drawing useful insights from both research and practice, on contemporary developments in working with offenders who are highly stigmatised and face substantial barriers in seeking desistance and reintegration."
