Description: Sexual offenders arguably the most hated and feared of all offenders commit their crimes in our communities and are then hidden from public view as they serve long prison sentences. However despite the public's understandable anxiety our criminal justice systems hold to the premise that almost all offenders have the right to hope for rehabilitation even redemption. Therefore the majority of sexual offenders return to live in our communities closely monitored by criminal justice agencies and subject to rigorous controls. This book provides an authoritative guide to working with sexual offenders with a focus on managing those who are reintegrating into the community. It includes those with the most striking histories of trauma and psychological difficulty and those who have previously failed in their attempts at resettlement. It covers helpful theoretical ideas such as attachment theory and models of desistance as well as the latest evidence base for good quality risk assessment. The book supports practitioners on the front line of this work by providing them with evidence - based guidance. It presents a multitude of case examples and practice tips that can support effective decision making and achieve safe outcomes as well as help such offenders build worthwhile community lives.
