• W284576768 abstract "ADDRESSING OFFENDING BEHAVIOUR: CONTEXT, PRACTICE AND VALUES Green, S., Lancaster, E. and Feasey, S. (eds) (2008) Cullompton: Willan. ISBN: 978-1-84392-243-8. pp.492. £26.99 pbk. Receiving this substantial tome for review and identifying that there were 23 chapters (plus introduction and conclusion) from different authors or groups of authors and a total of 449 pages gave me a sense of the enormity of the editing task and the size of the project as a whole. I wondered how the book would read; was it a collection of disparate opinions vying for a voice with a structure just about holding it together? The answer to this is a resounding 'no' and this is down to the skill and hard work of the editing team, plus of course, the expertise and experience of the contributors. The editors were motivated to produce this book because they were concerned with the lack of literature that brought practice and research into work with offenders, coherently together. They wanted to offer a critical appreciation of current policy and practice. As a result, the bulk of the chapters explore actual work undertaken with offenders including the skills required, the assessment tools and intervention strategies employed along with the strengths and limitations of underpinning theories. This clear emphasis on actual practice with offenders helps span intellectual and practical considerations. What are the strengths of the book? Firstly the contributors; there are 26 of them (including the editors) and they have each written or shared in the production of chapters. Between them they have a huge amount of academic, research and practice experience to draw on and this expertise is evident in the quality and authority of the various chapters. The second strength of the book is its organisation as a whole. It is clearly structured with a helpful introduction which enables the reader to rapidly understand what the book offers and ensures that any student picking up such a weighty volume is not daunted by the prospect of using it. Reading the introduction I felt a strong sense of anticipation to delve into the chapters as the editors draw out themes which are explored subsequently in the chapters. For example, the way in which the pre -occupation with dangerous nes s and dangerous offenders has dominated the criminal justice agenda over the past 10 or so years at the cost of less serious and more common offenders whose needs get overlooked if they are not identified as contributing to risk. Thirdly, the writing style and structure of each chapter; each contributor has been asked to cover certain common issues, for example, the relevant skills and techniques that need to be employed by practitioners, and to include some discussion points along with some suggestions as to further reading. There are clearly differences in writing style and some of the chapters are targeted at slightly different readers. For example, Ash worth (Chapter 6) looks at 'Written communication' which is an invaluable chapter for the student about to embark on placement for the first time whereas Phillips' approach in 'Beyond the risk agenda' (Chapter 10) suggests the need for some preliminary familiarity with risk procedures as he gets into some quite complex discussions about the effects of risk'driven practice. However, all the chapters are written in a clear and engaging style with an emphasis on explaining concerns, free from obfus cation. …" @default.
