Starting with an outline of the strategic framework for applied psychological services across probation and prisons, the book then gives an up-to-date picture of some key emerging areas of applied psychological practice in probation settings, including: court work, mental health, working with sex offenders, risk assessment, group work, multi-agency public protection panels, lifer assessments, domestic violence work, and suicide and intentional self-injury. The book can be effectively used alongside Graham Towl's "Psychology in Prisons" (BPS Blackwell, 2003). |
