SPRINGERBRIEFS IN OFFENDING POPULATIONS & CORRE...

This book investigates the general correctional offender population and the psychotherapy
services they receive. The offender population has long been considered the most difficult to
engage in psychotherapy  often described as resistant  non-compliant  unworkable  and without
feeling. This unique and culturally diverse population tend to find themselves  as a result 
going through a cycle of arrest  conviction  incarceration  and release. Although other
offender populations  such as female offenders  severe mentally ill  and sex offenders  have
received considerable attention in scholarship  there has been little research focused on the
treatment of the general offender population and how to reduce recidivism through the
appropriate delivery of effective assessment and treatment services. This book will bridge that
gap in literature  addressing: Who the offender population is Social and systematic factors
they face Psychological understandings of criminal behavior Rehabilitation and psychotherapy
theories and approaches to treatment   as well as best practices Future efforts in justice
initiatives  advocacy  and public policyThis book is best suited for upper-level undergraduates
graduate students and researchers  and practitioners in criminal justice fields and mental
health professions working with offender populations.
