Victim Awareness Workbook [Probation Series]

Increasing the understanding of the impact that someone's behaviour has on another person's is becoming an increasingly important tool for practitioners who attempt to reduce both reoffending and other general problematic behaviours. Its importance can be seen in the Probation Services, Youth Offending Services, Prisons and even schools who have decided to promote and implement aspects of an intervention called Restorative Justice (RJ). Using RJ, however, comes at a huge cost. This can be seen in both the training of staff to deliver it and also in the time required to undertake the intervention. So what are the alternatives?

This workbook offers creative solutions for practitioners who are working with perpetrators of offending, or other problematic and antisocial behaviour, on a one-to-one basis. It benefits from exercises that the practitioner can use with adults and young people (15+) which are easy to follow, powerful and adaptable to all different learning styles. Simply pick it up, and go! This book is part of Bennion Kearny's Probation Workbook Series, and full details are available on the Bennion Kearny website.
