Offending Behaviour

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the relationship between psychology, morality and offending behavior. It sets out the theory and research which has been carried out in the field, and examines the ways in which this knowledge has been used in practice to inform treatment programs for offenders - in a variety of different settings (prisons, residential settings, in the community). The book will be essential reading for forensic psychologists and others with an interest in the development of rehabilitation programs for offenders. Moral reasoning is set firmly within the wider spectrum of approaches to offending behavior.
