Handbook of Public Protection Hardback
Edited by Mike (Portsmouth University, UK) Nash, Andy Williams
Hardback
Description
Public protection has become an increasingly central theme in the work of the criminal justice agencies in many parts of the world in recent years.
Its high public profile and consequent political sensitivity means that growing numbers of criminal justice professionals find their daily work load dominated by the assessment and management of high risk of harm offenders.
Developments such as sex offender registers and (in the UK) Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (Mappa) have made this issue not only a core activity for police, probation and prison services, but to a range of other organizations as well, in particular social work and the health services.
Partnership has become central to the concept of public protection.
At the same time the concept of public protection has occasioned increased political debate.
Protecting the public from high risk or dangerous offenders has become an international issue and has increasingly shaped criminal justice policy.
This text brings together leading authorities in the field, providing authoritative coverage of the theory and practice of public protection, both in the UK and internationally.
It provides a critical review of contemporary public protection practice as well as up-to-date research and thinking in the field.
