From the Back Cover

How can we reduce criminal behaviour?

This important volume presents an extensive review of over 100 studies assessing the effectiveness of criminal justice interventions in the reduction of crime. It draws together information about where, for whom, and critically, at what cost the interventions are effective in reducing and deterring crime.

Each chapter discusses the research evidence, current policy and practice, and findings from the review, including:

• In-depth evaluation of what works, for whom, where
• Analysis of the costs and benefits of interventions
• Discussion of future research and policy directions

Reducing Crime is essential reading for academics, students and researchers in forensic psychology, criminology, social policy and economics.  It will also be a valuable resource for policy makers, criminal justice decision makers and probation and police officers.

The Psychology of Group Aggression (Wiley Series in Forensic Clinical Psychology) [Hardcover]

Rating:
Author: Arnold P. Goldstein
ISBN : 9780470845158
Buy New from $84.94

People in groups act aggressively as a group, not as a collection of individuals. The Psychology of Group Aggression's comprehensive journey starts with group dynamics theory and research by reviewing its relationship to aggression.

Arnold P. Goldstein then provides a unique and valuable insight into the different types and levels of intensity of anti-social behavior, examines its causes and considers its costs. In separate chapters he considers low intensity aggression, including ostracism, hazing, teasing; mid-intensity, e.g. bullying, harassment; and high intensity aggression e.g. mobs and gangs. In a final section, he considers management and intervention techniques, both those widely employed and emerging methods.

An important work for both a pure and an applied audience, this will be a key reference for many, including clinical and forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, criminal justice workers, social psychologists and academics and students in criminology, psychology and sociology.

This book is based on the Carl rogers style which is very accepted and useful. Still I am rating it as a 4 star because of its very short parenting tips. Many things are written without much of analysis and basic understanding to explain why it is the way it is.
Overall, the reading is quite interesting and I suggest it to people who want to deal with a variety of parents.

By Water Lover

This book is an informative, easy-to-read guide to the specific intricacies involved in counseling parents. It is useful for both trainees and seasoned clinicians.
