Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Conversations about rehabilitation and how to address the drugs-crime nexus have been dominated by academics and policymakers without due recognition of the experience and knowledge of practitioners. Not enough is known about the cultures and conditions in which rehabilitation occurs. Why is it that significant numbers of practitioners are leaving the alcohol and other drugs field while disproportionate numbers of criminal justice practitioners are on leave? Rehabilitation Work provides a unique insight into what happens behind the closed doors of prisons probation and parole offices drug rehabs and recovery support services drawing on research from Australia. This book is among the first to provide a dedicated empirical examination of the interface between the concurrent processes of desistance from crime and recovery from substance misuse and the implications for rehabilitation work. Hannah Graham uses practitioner interviews workforce data and researcher observations to reveal compelling differences between official accounts of rehabilitation work and what practitioners actually do in practice. Practitioners express a desire to be the change rather than being subject to change actively co-producing progressive reforms instead of passively coping with funding cutbacks and interagency politics. Applied examples of how practitioners collaborate lead and innovate in the midst of challenging work are complemented with evocative illustrations of insider humour and professional resilience. This book is a key resource for students academics and practitioners across fields including criminology and criminal justice social work psychology counselling and addiction treatment. | Rehabilitation Work Supporting Desistance and Recovery

Comparative Executive Clemency The Constitutional Pardon Power and the Prerogative of Mercy in Global Perspective

Comparative Executive Clemency The Constitutional Pardon Power and the Prerogative of Mercy in Global Perspective

Virtually every constitutional order in the common law world contains a provision for executive clemency or pardon in criminal cases. This facility for legal mercy is not limited to a single place in modern legal systems but is instead realized through various practices such as a law enforcement officer’s decision to arrest a prosecutor’s decision to prosecute and a judge’s decision to convict and sentence. Doubts about legal mercy in any form as unfair unguided or arbitrary are as ubiquitous as the exercise of mercy itself. This book presents a comparative analysis of the clemency and pardon power in the common law world. Andrew Novak compares the modern development organization and practice of constitutional and statutory schemes of clemency and pardon in the United Kingdom United States and Commonwealth jurisdictions. He asks whether the bureaucratization of the clemency power is in line with global trends and explores how innovations in legislative involvement judicial review and executive consultation have made the mercy and pardon procedure more transparent. The book concludes with a discussion on the future of the clemency and pardon power given the decline of the death penalty in the Commonwealth and the rise of the modern institution of parole. As a work concerned with the practice of mercy in the common law world this book will be of great interest to researchers and students of international and comparative criminal justice and international human rights law. | Comparative Executive Clemency The Constitutional Pardon Power and the Prerogative of Mercy in Global Perspective

In recent years however there has been an increase in criminological research on the topic introducing criminological theory and concepts scientific evidence and observations and new methodologies to the field. This book brings together international leading scholars to consider key topics on sex offending and where possible compare and contrast criminological viewpoints with those of other disciplines such as psychology and psychiatry. This book considers the following questions: Are the key explanatory factors of sex offenses completely distinct and different from those of non-sex crime and delinquency? Are current models explaining adult sex offending also applicable to explain sex crimes on college campuses female sex offending sexual exploitation sexual homicide or child luring over the internet? Are today’s youth involved in sex offenses tomorrow’s adult perpetrators of sex crimes? What is the risk of sexual recidivism and are risk assessment tools effective to identify individuals at-risk of committing another sex crime in the future? Are current legal measures used to prevent sex crimes effective? What are the known effects of such measures? What are the issues and challenges related to the criminal investigation of sex offenses? This book is essential reading for students and researchers from disciplines such as criminology psychiatry psychology sexology social work and sociology as well as criminal justice professionals and practitioners such as police investigators prosecutors judges probation/parole officers and treatment providers/counsellors involved with individuals having perpetrated sex offenses. | Sexual Offending A Criminological Perspective

Routledge Handbook on Offenders with Special Needs

Routledge Handbook on Offenders with Special Needs

Current estimates indicate that approximately 2. 2 million people are incarcerated in federal state and local correctional facilities across the United States. There are another 5 million under community correctional supervision. Many of these individuals fall into the classification of special needs or special populations (e. g. women juveniles substance abusers mentally ill aging chronically or terminally ill offenders). Medical care and treatment costs represent the largest portion of correctional budgets and estimates suggest that these costs will continue to rise. In the community probation and parole officers are responsible for helping special needs offenders find appropriate treatment resources. Therefore it is important to understand the needs of these special populations and how to effectively care for and address their individual concerns. The Routledge Handbook of Offenders with Special Needs is an in-depth examination of offenders with special needs such as those who are learning-challenged developmentally disabled and mentally ill as well as substance abusers sex offenders women juveniles and chronically and terminally ill offenders. Areas that previously have been unexamined (or examined in a limited way) are explored. For example this text carefully examines the treatment of gay lesbian bisexual and transgender offenders and racial and gender disparities in health care delivery as well as pregnancy and parenthood behind bars homelessness and the incarceration of veterans and immigrants. In addition the book presents legal and management issues related to the treatment and rehabilitation of special populations in prisons/jails and the community including police-citizen interactions diversion through specialty courts obstacles and challenges related to reentry and reintegration and the need for the development and implementation of evidence-based criminal justice policies and practices. This is a key collection for students taking courses in prisons penology criminal justice criminology and related areas of study and an essential resource for academics and practitioners working with offenders with special needs. | Routledge Handbook on Offenders with Special Needs
