Reviews
Criminal Defense-Based Forensic Social Work describes social workers who appreciate the needs of clients and effectively tell their stories to achieve developmentally-sound justice. Their innovative approach as part of the defense team, the diverse social work talents required, and their skillful collaboration with families and others are demonstrated through four clients woven into the book's eight information-packed chapters. Criminal Defense-Based Forensic Social Work is inspiring for all of us working in juvenile and criminal court! Marty Beyer, PhD, juvenile justice and child welfare consultant After working over 25 years in forensic practice, it is great to have a book that examines the practice of defensed-based forensic social work. The contributors have provided us with a great tool for enhancing our knowledge and teaching, while educating the criminal justice community. The book reveals the most critical aspects and duties required by social workers involved in criminal defense work. Lori James-Townes, MSW-LCSW-C, Lecturer, Department of Family Studies & Community Development, Towson University This book provides valuable information about the variety of pertinent issues that a forensic social worker encounters. What is most helpful about the format of the book is the comprehensive yet concise manner in which a multitude of information is delivered. Criminal Defense-Based Forensic Social Work is an important contribution to the field of forensic social work. I highly recommend this book to any new or seasoned forensic social worker!
