Circles of Support and Accountability is a voluntary initiative that assists people with convictions for sexual offences to resettle in the community. People leaving prison with such convictions often have difficulties in resettling. They carry the burden of the conviction itself, which may be both stigmatising and isolating, and they are the subject of sex offender register requirements, parole and other supervisory conditions.

Free Download Sarah Brown, "Treating Sex Offenders: An Introduction to sex offender treatment programmes"
English | ISBN: 1843921235 | 2005 | 296 pages | EPUB | 381 KB
This book aims to provide an introduction and overview of sex offender treatment programmes, designed for students and practitioners coming to this field. It seeks to describe the development, theoretical underpinnings, treatment goals and operation of cognitive-behavioural and other programmes to an audience unfamiliar with this form of rehabilitation. In addition, it aims to examine the effectiveness of these programmes and the difficulties associated with assessing this, the public response to treatment and also the effects on staff responsible for implementing them. The book is concerned particularly to assess the operation of sex offender treatment programmes in the UK context, considering also the issues associated with implementing programmes developed in other contexts, especially the USA and Canada. It will be of interest to practitioners, particularly those who are beginning work on sex offender treatment programmes, or others (such as health workers, social workers, probation officers) who come into contact with these programmes indirectly.

Offenders on Offending Learning about Crime from Criminals
Wim Bernasco, Michael Tonry, "Offenders on Offending: Learning about Crime from Criminals"
English | 2010 | pages: 345 | ISBN: 1843927764, 1843927772 | PDF | 7,4 mb
Our knowledge of crime is based on three types of sources: the criminal justice system, victims, and offenders. For technological and other reasons the criminal justice system produces an increasing stream of information on crime. The rise of the victimization survey has given the victims a much larger role in our study of crime. There is, however, no concomitant development regarding offenders. This is unfortunate because offenders are the experts when it comes to offending.In order to understand criminal behavior, we need their perspective.

Best Resumes and Letter for Ex-Offenders
Best Resumes and Letter for Ex-Offenders by Wendy Enelow
English | October 7, 2020 | ISBN: 1570234094 | 272 pages | EPUB | 19 Mb
Finding a good job is the best way to quickly transform one's life. That's especially true for ex-offenders with red flags in their backgrounds. Knowing employers are reluctant to hire them, many ex-cons face rejections and lose hope. Indeed, lacking job search smarts - from properly writing resumes, networking for job leads, and acing job interviews - many go from one dead end job to another . . . and then back to prison. For many, their odorous rap sheet becomes their resume!

English | 2005 | pages: 261 | ISBN: 184392076X, 1138141399 | PDF | 5,3 mb
This book aims to provide a critical analysis of both political and professional developments in policy and practice relating to non-custodial penalties, taking full account of recent developments and the creation of a National Probation Service in 2002. Its aim is to unravel the complex institutional goals (the role of community punishment in the criminal justice system), professional goals (what can be achieved by community punishment) and political goals (the packaging and 'sale' of community punishment to the law-abiding public). The central focus is on principles and politics of community punishment, and on the changing role of the probation service.

English | 2006 | pages: 275 | ISBN: 1843921812, 1138415820 | PDF | 5,3 mb
Over the last few years intensive community programmes for both young and adult offenders have become established in the UK as an important new component of penal policy - the ISSP (Intensive Supervision and Surveillance Programme) for persistent and serious young offenders, and the ICCP (Intensive Control and Change Programme) for adult offenders. Expectations of these programmes have been high, but the evidence relating to their effectiveness is mixed, and a number of critical concerns have emerged.
