Young People Who Sexually Abuse Building the Evidence Base for Your Practice

This book - written by contributors from the US, Canada, England, Scotland, and Wales - draws upon a combination of practice experience, research, program evaluation, and academic review. It builds on Martin C. Calder's previous edited volume "Working with Young People who Sexually Abuse: New Pieces of the Jigsaw Puzzle" (Russell House Publishing, 1999) and provides an understanding of the individual and tailored responses now being advocated by leaders in this field, including Carol Barnes, Arnon Bentovim, Simon Hackett, Colin Hawkes, Robert Longo, Sue Maskell, David O'Callaghan, Lucinda Rasmussen, Eileen Vizard, and others. The 25 chapters in seven sections cover: research and theoretical developments . broad practice issues . treatment issues . outcomes . impact issues . assessment issues . management issues. As a whole, the book stimulates thought and discussion. It identifies areas where further research is needed, and is a guide for practice, policy, and procedure development.Ã?Â?
