Factors associated with completion and non-completion of family work with justice-involved young people and their families
There is evidence that completion of criminal justice interventions, including family interventions, is an important factor in efforts to reduce reoffending amongst young people, with completers generally having better outcomes, including lower recidivism rates and non-completers having poorer outcomes. Knowledge about what contributes to program completion may help to improve completion rates and, in turn, outcomes for young people and their fam…

The Routledge Companion to Rehabilitative Work in Criminal Justice
Over the last 30 years there has been a steady growth in ‘victim-focused work with offenders’. Yet this phrase itself is vague, conveying little about what such work actually is, and is not. If it conjures any meaning at all, it is most commonly associated with victim awareness or empathy programmes designed to help reduce recidivism by improving offenders’ understanding about the impact of their harmful behaviour on victims. These programmes are…
Collaborative Family Work in Youth Justice
A number of studies have found that working with family groups can be successful in improving outcomes for young people and their families. This article reports on a study in New South Wales in which juvenile justice staff offered collaborative family work interventions to young people as part of the routine offerings of a juvenile justice service. The primary objective of this study was to examine the extent to which young people who completed t…
Women's Transitions from Prison
Beyond the Risk Paradigm in Criminal Justice
The risk assessment process, the interventions and treatment commenced as a result of it and the theory behind it are central to the administration of criminal justice programmes around the world. Most youth and adult corrections departments routinely conduct risk assessments, which are then used to inform the nature and intensity of subsequent criminal justice interventions. In this unique and important text, a team of the world's leading resear…
The impact of parental incarceration on children's care
Parental incarceration has wide‐ranging impacts on families. One key effect may be disruption to the care and legal custody of children, yet few studies have examined processes and outcomes relating to care planning for children of prisoners. This paper presents findings of interviews with 151 primary carer prisoners in two Australian states which aimed to address this research gap. The study examined care planning for children upon parental arre…
Good Practice in Community-based Supervision of Aboriginal Youth Offenders
While it has been recognised for some time that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people are significantly over-represented among youth justice populations, there is a dearth of research examining the elements of effective supervision for this group. This article presents the initial findings of a research project based on a partnership between Monash University and Juvenile Justice, New South Wales. Two focus groups were conducted, the…
What Works With Women Offenders
Female inmates are among the most marginalised groups in society ... The prevalence of childhood and adulthood sexual and violent victimisation, poverty, and poor educational and employment attainment reported by female inmates is nothing short of alarming (Nicholls, Lee, Corrado and Ogloff, 2004:179)

Involuntary Clients , Pro-social Modelling and Ethics
Workers with involuntary clients influence the behaviour of their clients. One of the methods by which workers influence their clients relates to the way they model, encourage or reinforce their comments and behaviours. Practitioners may be aware or unaware of this process and of the extent to which it can impact on clients. This paper describes the process of modelling and reinforcement and discusses some of the ethical issues it raises. It sugg…
The Effectiveness of Support and Rehabilitation Services for Women Offenders
There is a large body of research evidence suggesting that support, rehabilitation, and supervision programs can help offenders to reduce recidivism. However, the effectiveness of these services is dependent upon the extent to which the workers who deliver them comply with “what works” principles and practices. Because most of this research has been conducted with men, this study focused on the extent to which these principles and practices apply…

A Comparison of On-Campus and Off-Campus (or Distance) Social Work Education
This study explored the differences between on- and off-campus social work education focusing on student demographics, academic achievements, and student satisfaction. The study focused on a cohort of recent graduates from Monash University Bachelor of Social Work course. The study is quantitative with a small amount of qualitative data used to illustrate some of the quantitative findings. Data were collected using a telephone questionnaire/surve…

Family problem solving
Working with the families of young offenders may often be the best method of helping those young offenders to change. Sometimes, however, social workers and others who work with young offenders are reluctant to work with family groups because they may feel that they lack skills in family counselling. This article presents a case study which illustrates a family counselling intervention. The case study uses Family Problem Solving, a method which i…
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water—In defence of problem solving
Since the 1970s direct social work practice has been characterised largely by problem solving methods. In fact it could be argued that problem solving has become the predominant social work method. More recently, however, problem solving approaches have been questioned as blaming, negative and labelling. It is argued that direct practice should be strengths-based, solution focused and concentrated on positives. This article considers the place of…
