Summary:

The final book in the Wiley Series in Forensic Clinical Psychology presents a comprehensive collection of intervention strategies to reduce alcohol-related aggression and violence. Drawing on contributions from internationally-renowned academics and practitioners, chapters describe evidence-based interventions at a number of levels, including populations, barroom, families, couples and individuals.

Prevention is examined in relation to policy, policing, and the creation of safer environments. Detailed coverage is provided on specific treatments for offenders in the community and in prison, for intimate partner violence and sexual violence, for dually diagnosed offenders and those with intellectual disabilities, and for violence related to alcohol-impaired driving. Each chapter presents a review of research evidence and implications for practice.

Alcohol-Related Violence: Prevention and Treatment offers invaluable guidance for those studying offending behavior and addiction, policy makers involved in interagency alcohol and violence reduction projects, and health care and criminal justice professionals engaged in the treatment of those at risk of alcohol-related violence.
