Résumé :
How can practitioners working in and around the criminal justice system address the needs of women? What differences are there, if any, when the offender is a woman, a drug user, and/or HIV positive? And what are the perceptions and experiences of women at the 'receiving end' of care and control?
Written by practitioners and academies active in the fields of probation, drug services, criminology and HIV, this short book holds a mirror up to current practice and debates. Against a background of new developments in the British criminal justice system, especially trends to provide community sentences and for partnership between agencies, considerable effort is needed to turn current trends into positive outcomes.
"Women, HIV, Drugs: criminal justice issues" seeks to integrate concerns around gender into thinking on drugs, HIV and criminal justice.
