Summary
"This book is the first to examine trauma-informed criminal justice, which provides a new understanding of why people commit crimes and how society can respond with compassion and humanity. There are three parts. The first examines how adversity, trauma, and crime are related. The second focuses on trauma-informed criminal justice responses to those who have offended, to victims of crime, and to professionals at risk of vicarious trauma. The final part considers sentencing and the importance of judicial empathy."--Back cover.
