Produktbeschreibung

This book is a cross-section of the rich variety of programs of theater with offenders. This multi-disciplinary volume debates both in the criminal justice system and in discussions about the role and function of theater. The contributors explore a wide range of topics within this diverse field, including: working with women prisoners and people with learning difficulties; dramatherapy with sex offenders; theater work with young offenders; and dramatic intervention in probation services and with ex-offenders. This is a stimulating and thought-provoking book which is valuable reading for practitioners, professionals and students in a broad scope of fields which includes arts therapy, criminology and criminal justice, psychology and performing arts.
