The good lives model and conceptual issues in offender rehabilitation

Tony Ward, Mark Brown · 7 Jun 2004

There has been a profound shift in attitudes toward offender rehabilitation in the last two decades from a conviction that nothing works to the confident announcement that certain kinds of treatment strategies reliably reduce reoffending rates.

Toward a comprehensive theory of child sexual abuse: A theory knitting perspective

Maria Hartwig, Pär Anders Granhag, Leif A. Strömwall · 23 Aug 2006

Abstract Deception detection has largely failed to investigate guilty and innocent suspects’ strategies. In this study, mock suspects (n=82) were interrogated by police trainees (n=82) who either were or were not trained in the technique to strategically use the evidence (the SUE technique). Analyses revealed that guilty suspects to a higher degree than innocent suspects…
