| Summary |
"In this groundbreaking text, Kelly Blanchette and Shelley Brown explore whether and how the assessment and treatment of women offenders should differ from that of men. Firmly grounded in a theoretical context, this book focuses on the specific areas of risk, needs and responsivity. It reviews the nature and scope of adult female offending, provides an overview of contemporary theories, offers guidance on evidence-based practice for assessing women's risks and needs and explores directions for future research. The result is a reconciliation of diverse perspectives and a reformulated gender-informed paradigm for the assessment and treatment of women offenders."--BOOK JACKET |
