Description

From a relatively modest background, author Herschel Prins rose to become a leading exponent of forensic work with offenders suffering from mental disorders. In this absorbing account, he traces his personal journey - as a 'main grade' probation officer, a UK Home Office civil servant, a trainer, an inspector to top level positions within academic institutions (notably at Leicester University and Loughborough University), with the Parole Board, key nationwide committees, inquiries, and beyond. His reflections - on a life geared to enhancing knowledge and understanding in this sphere - contain unique insights for practitioners, criminologists, and general readers alike. These are words of wisdom for the criminal justice system as it enters the second decade of the 21st century, written by a leading exponent of work with mentally disordered offenders. The book charts key events in a 50 year long career, which will be of particular interest to criminal psychologists, psychiatrists, parole officers, criminologists, judges, and all students of crime and punishment.
