Routledge Handbook of Public Protection - Criminal Justice Book

The Handbook of Public Protection by Routledge provides a deep look into a central theme within modern criminal justice agencies. As public protection gains a high profile and increased political sensitivity, criminal justice professionals are seeing their workloads change. This book addresses how the assessment and management of high risk of harm offenders has become a primary focus for many in the field. This text covers essential developments that shape the daily work of police, probation, and prison services. It explores the impact of sex offender registers and Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) in the UK. By examining how these systems function, the handbook serves as a resource for understanding the evolving responsibilities of various organizations involved in managing risk and ensuring community safety.
