Comprehensive, scholarly, and state of the art by Forensic_doc (New York)  5 Stars
February 21, 2009
Rich's latest book addressing work with sexually abusive youth focuses strictly on the assessment of risk for sexual re-offense. His book is complete and broad in every respect, moving seamlessly from theory, to research, to practice, and finally to instruction, moving from the academic to the practical. This is a hands on book that provides information, insight, critique, and direction, including a review of current risk assessment tools and their application, and instruction on how to conduct and document a comprehensive risk assessment, with a focus on the juvenile in the context of his (or her) "whole" life, and not as just an "offender." This is an important contribution to the field.
