Abstract
|
:
|
"Understanding risk in criminal justice examines the significance of the concept of risk in criminal justice policy, and in the role of criminal justice agencies and crime prevention initiatives. It provides practical examples, covers previously unpublished research, and includes a full review of current risk assessment tools for use with offenders. It also contains frequent summaries, lists of further reading, and a glossary, making it ideal for undergraduate courses." "The book combines a review of current theories on actuarial justice with a detailed examination of current practices in key frontline agencies. The result is an essential text for criminology students and trainee professionals in criminal justice."--Jacket.
