Treatment programmes for high risk offenders

High-risk offenders, because of their disproportionate potential for crime and violence, are a high priority for intervention in any criminal justice system, but are also among the most challenging people to work with. The book describes innovative endeavours from the UK, US, Canada and New Zealand, designed to rehabilitate and reintegrate some of the most dangerous people in our custodial systems. Cumulatively, the contributions provide encouragement for those working with high risk offenders, along with a wide range of ideas about how to develop better services.This book was originally published as a special issue of Psychology, Crime & Law.
