Social Work with Sex Offenders by Malcolm Cowburn
This topical book engages with a wide range of issues related to social work practice with people who have sexually offended. Its accessible style and use of practice based learning exercises will help readers to reflect on theory, practice and developing emotional resilience.
"An authoritative and informed analysis of sexual offending and of those who offend which challenges the 'folk devil' accounts in the media, and maintains a robust victim-oriented position" Professor Sue White, University of Birmingham "The specific contributions made by social workers to assessing, managing and supporting sex offenders has long since been overlooked. Conceptually strong and theoretically informed, this book represents key reading for all those whose work brings them into contact with this challenging area of social work practice." Professor Simon Hackett, Durham University "An important book that draws on literature from a variety of disciplines to present a comprehensive account of social work with sex offenders." Anna Gupta, Royal Holloway University of London "With a breadth of theory, research, policy, practice and ethics that is truly remarkable, this book is indispensable for practitioners in the field and important reading for social workers/social work students more widely." Professor Keith Pringle, Uppsala University, Sweden "Drawing upon their extensive experience Cowburn and Myers challenge readers to test their understanding and question their assumptions in this authoritative and accessible text which is a valuable addition to research and practice of working with sex offenders." Professor Rob Canton, De Montfort University
