Bottoms, et al, $73.50
Grounded in the latest clinical and
developmental knowledge, this book brings together leading authorities to
examine the critical issues that arise when children and adolescents become

- Eyewitness testimony, interviews, and
confessions
- The evolving role of the expert witness
- The psychological impact of trauma and of legal
involvement
- Factors that shape jurors’ perceptions of
children
- And what works in rehabilitating juvenile
offenders
Policies and practices that are not
supported by science are identified, and approaches to improving them are
discussed. |

Desistance from Sexual Offending:
Alternatives to Throwing Away the Keys. D. Richard
Laws & Tony Ward, $63.95
This book offers a fresh perspective on
treating a population that is often demonized by policymakers, the public, and
even clinicians. The authors argue that most sex offenders are "people
like us," with the potential to lead meaningful, law-abiding lives — if
given a chance and appropriate support. They describe an empirically and
theoretically grounded rehabilitation approach, the Good Lives Model, which can
be integrated with the assessment and intervention approaches that clinicians
already use. Drawing on the latest knowledge about factors promoting desistance
from crime, the book discusses how encouraging naturally occurring desistance
processes, and directly addressing barriers to community reintegration, can
make treatment more effective and long lasting. |
