{"product_id":"behaviour-crime-and-legal-processes-isbn-9780471998686","title":"Behaviour, Crime and Legal Processes","description":"Areas of professional practice, such as law, psychiatry, and the behavioural and social sciences, overlap at numerous points in terms of underlying concepts and basic research. They also intersect at an everyday level in their work with individuals whose multiple problems simultaneously require attention from legal, mental health, and social services professionals. Behaviour, Crime and Legal Processes explicitly sets out to close the gaps between the professions. It addresses the questions that arise at the meeting-points and cross-roads of different backgrounds and spheres of activity, thereby helping people working in these different fields to grasp the nature and implications of each other's perspectives and adopt a better-informed approach to inter-disciplinary work.Juristen, Psychiater, Verhaltens- und Sozialwissenschaftler haben es in der Praxis häufig mit Klienten zu tun, deren vielschichtige Probleme nur durch gemeinsame Anstrengungen verschiedener Experten zu lösen sind. Entsprechend versucht dieses Buch, zwischen den beteiligten Fachleuten zu vermitteln, übereinstimmende Ansätze herauszuarbeiten und Lücken zu schließen. Eine Anregung und Anleitung zu interdisziplinärer Arbeit, die Mut macht!
