Social workers who work with offenders and instructors who train criminal justice practitioners present a critical reference for practitioners, researchers, and academics interested in addressing offending behavior by people on probation and other offenders. They seek to integrate theory and practice, but tend to lean towards practical concerns. Their topics include the social construction of offenders, victims, and the Probation Service; models of intervention; life after prison; and working with ethnic diversity.
