Product description
Review
“Violent and Sexual Offenders offers the reader confirmation of evidence-based practices that have been utilized for some time, as well as developments in assessing and managing risks amongst unique cohorts of offenders. Sentencing options, offender registration and the role of technology to promote community safety assist in providing a broader context than the traditional approach to exclusively focusing on criminal conduct of an individual. The text flexibly uses research and case examples that enables the benefits and limitations to be clearly understood.”
– Dr Anne Marie Martin, Assistant Commissioner, Offender Management & Programs, Corrective Services NSW, NSW Department of Justice, Australia
