Serious and Violent Juvenile Offenders
$74.48 Detailed and comprehensive, Serious and Violent Juvenile Offenders presents authoritative discussions by a select group of leading scholars on issues surrounding serious and violent juvenile offenders. This population is responsible for a disproportionate percentage of all crime and poses the greatest challenge to juvenile justice policymakers. Under the skillful editorship of Rolf Loeber and David P. Farrington, this unique volume integrates knowledge about risk and protective factors with information about intervention and prevention programs so that conclusions from each area can inform the other. Current literature on these two areas does not, for the most part, apply directly to serious and violent juvenile offenders. This volume contends that serious and violent juvenile offenders tend to start displaying behavior problems and delinquency early in life, warranting early intervention. It is the contributors’ thesis that prevention is never too early. They also maintain, however, that interventions for serious and violent juvenile offenders can never be too late in that effective interventions exist for known serious and violent juvenile offenders. Augmented by charts, tables, graphs, figures, and an extensive bibliography, Serious and Violent Juvenile Offenders is an excellent reference work and a must read for policy and lawmakers, judges, attorneys, law enforcement personnel, education administrators, researchers, academics, social workers, sociologists, as well as graduate students and interns. |

Violent Offenders
$49.87 Must we continue to endure the return of violent offenders to the community, a situation that seems to result in more death and destruction? Arguing from the notion that community risk management can be improved by combining what has already known about the prediction of violence, the study of decision making and clinical judgment, and the literature on treatment outcomes and program evaluation, the authors report on a sustained 35-year program of research in Canada. They give an historical perspective, previous research on prediction, methods and measurement, clinical approaches, reviews of a new generation of follow-up studies on mentally disordered offenders, fire setters and sex offenders, reviews of violence prediction instruments (the actuarial approach and its criticism) and describe altering the risk of violence through treatment and management. They include information about the Violence Risk Appraisal Guide and the Sex Offender Risk Appraisal Guide and other instruments for assessing and managing violent offenders in and out of your neighborhood.
