Crisis intervention in criminal justice/social service

This collection of works is intended for pre-service and in-service criminal justice and social service crisis interveners, this book provides theoretical, analytical, and practical knowledge for those who first respond to crisis in a professional capacity. Face-to-face interaction with the client/victim is part of the comprehensive approach advocated by this book, which requires interveners to assess the nature of a crisis and the condition of the victim in order to determine the appropriate course of action. Each chapter offers a theoretical overview of a particular facet of intervention, as well as models and methods for applying crisis theory to crisis situations faced by interveners. Although crisis situations are composed of similar elements, each crisis is unique within the personal domain due to individual diversity. Chapters are devoted to crisis intervention for each of the following crises: domestic violence/spouse abuse, child abuse and neglect, elder abuse and neglect, rape and sexual assault, the death of a loved one, and suicide.
