The authors begin by contextualising psychological work in prisons, and then covering evidence-based practice in key areas such as drug misuse, violent offending and sex offending. The focus is very much on the needs of the patient\/client group, and the third section consists of four chapters on the practicalities of psychological assessments and interventions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis new edition is further strengthened by more in-depth consideration of 'diversity' issues such as age, gender, socio-economic group, sexuality and ethnicity, which arguably impact on effective practice and will be fundamental reading for practitioners working in prisons.\u003c\/p\u003e  \"Psychology in Prisons leavens cutting-edge research with seasoned clinical insight to produce an indispensable roadmap to the Golden Age of forensic psychology. David Crighton and Graham Towl are deeply committed to promoting evidence-based practices in the assessment and reduction of offender risk. This remarkable work should be within arm’s reach of any psychologist working in a prison on either side of the Atlantic.\"\u003cbr\u003e –\u003ci\u003eJohn Monahan\u003c\/i\u003e, Shannon Distinguished Professor of Law and Psychology, University of Virginia, USA","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989885927653,"sku":"NP9781405160100","price":75.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405160100.jpg?v=1761785792","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/psychology-in-prisons-isbn-9781405160100","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
