Bewährungs- und Gerichtshilfe - ein Handlungskonzept

Until today, probation services in German-speaking countries have lacked a consistent approach to the rehabilitation of offenders. Psychologically and criminologically sound, this book develops a theory of criminal behaviour as well as steps for action in practice. Readers are guided to identify the individual conditions of a person's criminality in a structured way in counselling and to base prognoses and the planning of interventions on this. Concrete interventions in specific problem situations, legal basics as well as forms of conducting conversations and reporting in court assistance are explained in a practical manner.
