This ebook aims to share with its readers the latest research and thinking in relation to strengths-based approaches when working with people convicted of sexual offending. It is our privilege to present a selection of novel and thought-provoking papers from significant scholars whose work is dedicated to preventing sexual abuse and working with those convicted of sexual offending in an ethical, humane, and positive way. Strengths-based approaches involve identifying and developing the positive aspects of an individual and they have been utilised in many contexts, such as education, health/well-being, and organizational behaviour. In recent years, there has been a move to incorporate and employ strengths-based approaches in forensic contexts, especially rehabilitation. It has also been noted that strengths-based approaches can help foster a treatment process that is more collaborative and involving of the client. In this ebook, strength-based approaches are explored in relation to the assessment, treatment, and management of those convicted of sexual offending. It includes research from a range of forensic contexts, including the police, prison, and the community.
