What Else Works?

About this book

This book has developed out of a growing awareness amongst practitioners that centralized notions of what works and 'one size fits all' approaches to work with offenders and other groups is inevitably limited in its scope and effectiveness. This realisation reopens the door on 'what works, with whom and in what circumstances', i.e. the idea that successful intervention can come from a number of different approaches, linked to individual difference. The book as a whole argues that it may be unhelpful to continually think of probation service users as 'offenders' and socially excluded people as.
