Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It is now widely acknowledged that the most vulnerable and at risk children are children whom the current systems of education, care and health (especially mental health) are failing. The problem of dealing with at risk children is also a problem of definition as one service provider s definition might often reflect an entirely different social reality from another s. Bringing years of collaborative expertise across many disciplines to the problem, the authors of How to Reach Hard to Reach Children demonstrate how it is possible for all children to meet the following criteria of staying safe, enjoying and achieving, being healthy, making a positive contribution, and economic well being.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This essential volume, edited by four psychologists and a lawyer, argues that psychology can, and should be, applied more widely, particularly within the criminal justice system.Psychology and Law has made enormous strides during the last three decades. It now incorporates a much wider range of topics and has seen a marked international growth in specialist journals, books and conferences. The focus, until now, has been on research and academic membership rather than on practical applications and participation by practitioners, psychologists or lawyers, something this volume aims to change.This book develops the case for successfully applying psychology to law, and criminal justice in particular, by providing a rich range of applicable examples for development, now and in the future. In Applying Psychology to Criminal Justice psychologists are encouraged to challenge the currently relatively limited ambition and imagination of psychology and law by examining, amongst other aspects:\* The relevance of offenders' methods of thinking and concepts to criminal responsibility\* The ways in which psychology might be used to inform analyses of corporate responsibility for systems failure\* How analyses of decision-making under pressure are most effectively undertaken\* How psychological research and insights might be applied to the investigation and analysis of system failure.This text is an important addition to the bookshelves of forensic, legal, clinical, and occupational psychologists, students, and criminal justice personnel: police, probation, prisons. Also essential reading for investigators, lawyers, law reform agencies, and those government departments concerned with home, constitutional, law reform agendas.ContributorsLaurence Alison, UKRay Bull, UKSusan Dennison, AustraliaLeslie Ellis, USAJacey Erickson, USAMarie Eyre, UKRonald Fisher, USAEdie Greene, USAJohn G.
