A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Forensic social work is a unique practice field that interfaces with criminal justice or legal systems at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels of practice. The Handbook of Forensic Social Work Practice provides important reference content that explores the multiple facets of the justice system, the differential nature by which people, families, and communities navigate it, and the various ways social workers interface with the criminal justice system with associated client populations.

The Handbook is an essential and accessible resource for social workers in forensic practice that synthesizes current theory, policy, and practice. This comprehensive tool for social workers engaged in forensic practice will assist in knowledge and skill acquisition to enhance effective social work delivery.
