| Summary |
"Building on the key strengths of the first edition, this book focuses exclusively on the prison environment, where other competing texts do not, and prioritises the order of practical application of theory. The authors begin by contextualising psychological work in prisons, and then covering evidence-based practice in key areas such as drug misuse, violent offending and sex offending. This edition is further strengthened by more in-depth consideration of 'diversity' issues such as age, gender, socio-economic group, sexuality and ethnicity, which arguably impact on effective practice."--BOOK JACKET |
