Download or read book The Assessment and Treatment of Women Offenders written by Kelley Blanchette and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a large body of research that provides guidance for those working with offenders on how they should be treated once they are in the correctional system. The problem is that most, if not all this research has been conducted on all male populations and it is assumed that women offenders are the same. However, women have different needs and support systems than men in some areas of their lives and it is unclear whether all research based on men can be generalized in this way. The book provides a review of the research literature to guide evidence-based practice in the assessment and treatment of adult female offenders. An historical overview of women’s crime and imprisonment will be followed by a global review of various theories of female criminality. The remainder of the book reviews the psychology of criminal conduct, with a specific focus on three psychological principles of effective intervention: risk, need and responsivity. Respectively, these principles set the “who”, “what” and “how” for correctional intervention.

Download or read book Preliminary Development of a Dynamic Risk Assessment Tool for Women Offenders written by Dianne Zakaria and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To date, research on the prediction of criminal recidivism and the development of risk assessment tools have been largely male-focussed. Given that male offenders comprise the majority of correctional populations, it is not surprising that the focus has been on the more prominent population; however, there can be detrimental impacts when male-based tools are subsequently applied to women offender populations. These gender-neutral approaches do not accurately account for the risk and needs present in women offenders and have potential to inflate women’s security and intervention needs. There is need for tools designed specifically for women offenders. The goal of the current study was to develop, from the ground-up, a gender- informed, dynamic risk assessment scale that could be used to predict risk of recidivism in federal women offenders."--Executive summary.

Book excerpt: The Wiley Handbook on What Works with Girls and Women in Conflict with the Law The most practical discussion of the rehabilitation of girls and women in conflict with the law in the correctional arena What Works with Girls and Women in Conflict with the Law is the leading examination of evidence-based practice in the field of gender-responsive corrections.
