Reseña del editor:

The book focuses specifically on aggressive offenders and is divided into two parts. Part I deals with sexual abusers whilst Part II is concerned with violent offenders. Each part discusses theory, latest research and treatment related information. Emphasis is placed on discussing cognition in context i.e. identifying the factors impacting upon and related to offenders' cognition.

Contraportada:

Aggressive Offenders’ Cognition: Theory, Research and Treatment is the first book in its field to comprehensively examine offenders’ social cognition. Focusing specifically on aggressive offenders, the book collates the theory, research and practice relating to offenders’ social cognition in one authoritative volume.

Edited and written by a team of established and recognised experts, this book addresses two different categories of aggressive offender. The first part of the book addresses sexual abusers, identifying sociological theory, research and practice related to child sexual abusers as well as rapists. The second part focuses on treatment-related information specific to violent offenders. This division of content offers readers a  context-specific and focussed source of information.

Aggressive Offenders’ Cognition: Theory, Research and Practice is an invaluable practical handbook for professionals working with offenders, especially clinical forensic psychologists and forensic psychology students.
