offender rehabilitation gwen robinson iain crow

′Robinson and Crow have achieved the seemingly impossible: a book about rehabilitation that transcends the "medical model", that is original and contemporary yet grounded in a sophisticated history, and most of all that is fun to read. It will become a new classic text in a field that has been crying out for one′ - Professor Shadd Maruna, Queen′s University, Belfast ′In an age where there is much public and political confusion about many criminal justice matters, this book brings considerable clarity to the idea of rehabilitation, its theoretical and historical roots, and contemporary practical application. This is an accessible, lively, and critical account of a concept which is central to the shape of the criminal justice system in pursuance of something that will "work" to reduce reoffending. "Rehabilitation" seems to go in and out of fashion depending on the politics of the day, but the careful and thorough examination of the different contexts in which it operates and competing perspectives on its potential offered here highlights its enduring qualities. This is a fascinating and engaging book by two established and "real world" scholars which will serve students and policy makers alike in the fields of criminal justice and social ...

This book shows how prison officers may be able to significantly influence extra-programmatic conditions, to enhance rehabilitation outcomes and contribute to reducing reoffending. It does so through a detailed review of the literature relating to prison-based rehabilitation programmes, examining factors influencing their outcomes and the effects of the prison officer role.Firstly the book explores current understandings about the role of the prison and effective offender rehabilitation programmes. It then describes the processes of the integrative review of how prison officers can support rehabilitation programmes in prisons. Review findings suggest three main routes by which prison officers can contribute to enhancing rehabilitation outcomes: influencing prison social environments, enhancing prisoner treatment readiness and programme engagement and identifying and supporting prisoners’ wider needs. This book also explores avenues for further research in this area using a declarative sentence mapping approach.Bridging two previously distinct areas of research - prison officers and their role; and prison rehabilitation interventions – this book offers new understanding in the real-world context of prisons and their staff as to how we can enhance rehabilitation outcomes. It will be of great interest to academics in penology, forensic psychology, probation, and offender rehabilitation fields. The book is also valuable to postgraduate ...

Vyvrcholení trilogie. Když bylo Gwendy Petersonové dvanáct let, dal jí cizinec jménem Richard Farris do úschovy tajemnou skříňku. Nabízela pamlsky a staré mince, ale byla také nebezpečná. Stisknutí kteréhokoliv ze sedmi barevných tlačítek přinášelo smrt a zkázu. O několik let později skříňka znovu vstoupila do jejího života. Jako úspěšná spisovatelka a vycházející politická hvězda byla Gwendy opět nucena vypořádat se s pokušením, které představovala - úžasný pocit pohody vyvážený děsivě temným nutkáním vyvolat katastrofu. Ve třetí, závěrečné knize bojuje Gwendy Petersonová, nyní senátorka Spojených států, s ranými příznaky Alzheimerovy choroby, které se snaží tajit. Ale čeká ji mnohem náročnější úkol, tajná mise, aby zachránila svět. Předchozí díly: Kouzelná skříňka pro Gwendy (1. díl, 2018), Kouzelné pírko pro Gwendy (2. díl, 2021)

Kniha - autor Stephen King; Richard Chizmar, 408 stran, česky, pevná s přebalem lesklá Když bylo Gwendy Petersonové dvanáct let, dal jí cizinec jménem Richard Farris do úschovy tajemnou skříňku. Nabízela pamlsky a staré mince, ale byla také nebezpečná. Stisknutí kteréhokoliv ze sedmi barevných tlačítek přinášelo smrt a zkázu. O několik let později skříňka znovu vstoupila do jejího života. Jako úspěšná spisovatelka a vycházející politická hvězda byla Gwendy opět nucena vypořádat se s pokušením, které představovala – úžasný pocit pohody vyvážený děsivě temným nutkáním vyvolat katastrofu. Ve třetí, závěrečné knize bojuje Gwendy Petersonová, nyní senátorka Spojených států, s ranými příznaky Alzheimerovy choroby, které se snaží tajit. Ale čeká ji mnohem náročnější úkol, tajná mise, aby zachránila svět.

Tentokrát se však, na rozdíl od těch ostatních, jedná o poměrně krátkou novelu, napsanou navíc ve spolupráci s Richardem Chizmarem. Na začátku příběhu je Gwendy 12 let. Je to bystrá holčička, která má problémy s nadváhou, s nimiž se dokáže svou vůlí a kázní vypořádat. Jednoho dne ji v parku osloví záhadný černě oděný muž, který jí z neznámých důvodů dá jedinečný a nebezpečný dárek – kouzelnou skříňku s páčkami a různobarevnými tlačítky. Stisknutím páček skříňka vydává buď vzácné stříbrné dolary, nebo nesmírně chutné čokoládičky. Barevná tlačítka jsou destruktivní a symbolizují jednotlivé světadíly, jejichž případné zničení je teď plně v moci Gwendy. Ta postupně začíná chápat, jakou s dárkem převzala zodpovědnost.

The Sunday Times bestselling author of The Devil You Know and leading forensic psychiatrist Dr Gwen Adshead reckons with our attitudes towards violence and punishment.''A bold message.'' Sunday TimesIs violence normal? Is evil ever a useful concept? Does trauma cause it? And can we change violent minds?For Dr Gwen Adshead, these are the most common questions she is asked about her work as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist in secure hospitals and prisons. Her answers are drawn from over 30 years of working with violence perpetrators, and the insights she has gained from listening to the stories of those who have committed acts of violence and cruelty.Adshead pays attention to an aspect of humanity we often find hard to comprehend and invites us to do the same as she considers the motivations, the risk factors, the social roots of violence and the rehabilitation of perpetrators. Compassion is central to Adshead’s approach as she delves into the development of the mind and deepens our understanding of the human capacity for cruelty but also for change. Expanding on her galvanising 2024 Reith Lectures and including a new essay on good mental health, this is a potent, humane and transformative read.**Gwen Adshead''s new book ...
