FROM THE PREFACE: ‘This book is designed for youth workers and those who intend to be youth workers. The term youth workers is deliberately vague, since this career is chosen by people of extremely varied backgrounds, experience, and education, and so it should be. The job is too significant to our society's future to allow one category of professional or paraprofessional to be labeled as the experts and the rest as the followers. This book is for those who face daily the enormous problems of extremely disturbed youths. This includes those working in mental health, youth corrections, social services, education, law enforcement, etc. This does not mean that anyone can be a youth worker. In fact, it is the author's opinion that the percentage of potential human services workers who have the abilities and skills necessary to work successfully with troubled youth is small. Chapters 5 and 6 discuss some of the personality characteristics necessary for quality performance…”

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “Why study prison staff? Anyone embarking on a study of prison staff needs to ask themselves why they are doing it, as there are obvious risks in pursuing this course. First, particularly for prison staff researching themselves, there is a danger of partiality or even indulgence. Historically, prison staff have seen themselves as neglected and unappreciated (Thomas 1972; Crawley 2004), and as a result sympathetic students of prison staff may be drawn into taking sides, or becoming partial. Second, the study of prison staff may be considered marginal or a distraction. It could be argued that the primary focus of prison research should be prisoners, since they are the people who are most significantly affected by the prison experience. Third, it could be argued that the study of prison staff acts to reinforce existing power structures either by promoting their interests above those of prisoners, or, when research is critical of prison staff, legitimising the increased centralisation of power and undermining attempts to allow and develop professional judgment and discretion…”

FROM THE PREFACE: “Thirty years ago, people in this country said, "We've got a crime problem. i Neve sing do ab i this even be pop tire people in would go down. Still, we went ahead with it, only to find out that as incarceration rates rose, so did the crime rate. Then we said, "This doesn't work. Let's try a few more things." We tried aggression training, education, job training, counseling, and other programs. We jumped into them all, spending billions across the country with nothing to support any realistic expectation of a reasonable retum for the dollar. Throughout these same years, criminality among our poor has risen, recidivism perpetuates, and our cities have become places where we used to live. Our state budgets have less and less to do with schools, teachers, and students-and more to do with prisons, prosecutors, and inmates…”
