Social Work Practice in the Criminal Justice System
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-415-78116-9 (ISBN)
Integrating social work values and a commitment to social justice, this textbook explores how social workers can practice to address social problems within the criminal justice system and promotes the development of knowledge, skills and critical reflection in this increasingly important area of practice. In addition to covering the four key areas for social work practice – law enforcement, courts, corrections, and legislation – it covers:
Alternative programs and services
Special populations – such as juveniles, women and sex offenders
Special topics – such as reoffending, wrongful conviction and racial disparities
The application of evidence-based practice principles in criminal justice.
Looking at the challenges and opportunities of social work practice in the criminal justice system, this is the ideal text for social work instructors, students and practitioners working with or within the criminal justice system. Each chapter includes a summary of social work practice implications, key terms, and suggested further reading.
George T. Patterson is Associate Professor in the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, City University of New York, USA. A certified police instructor, he has both taught criminal justice courses to social work students and trained police officers and recruits.
