Psychology in Prisons by Graham J Towl
Edited by the Head of Psychology for HM Prison Service and the National Probation Service, this book takes an in-depth look at the work of psychologists in HM Prisons. The contributors to the volume cover a wide range of topics, from an overview of what forensic psychologists in prisons do, through to more practical issues such as the recruitment of prison staff, working with different groups of offenders, and incident management. Each contributor starts by focusing upon key themes emerging from his or her area, before moving on to look at what practitioners need to know, and at likely future directions in that field.
A clear, up-to-the-minute description of the current state of prison psychologyThe volume is highly accessible to the generalist with an interest in working with prisoners, contributing to debates on issues such as risk assessment, resettlement, recruitment and retention, training and incident management.
