This practitioner briefing is for criminal justice practitioners who want to improve the way that the criminal justice system works. It calls for attention to be paid to the two key ways in which social policy and criminal justice practice are fundamentally linked, something that is not always evident to practitioners, policy makers and other interested parties.
Clive Sealey, author of Applying Social Policy to Criminal Justice Practice, shows how criminal justice practice must move away from a narrow emphasis on crime and criminality, to a wider focus that attends to the social policy needs of individuals, groups and communities.
Applying Social Policy to Criminal Justice Practice by Clive Sealey is available on the Bristol University Press website. Order here for £28.99.
