dc.descriptionThis book targets the important and emerging practice area of forensic social work, an area that is often overlooked or misunderstood. The book builds on prior work in this area by providing a broader view of forensic social work to include the knowledge and skills needed to practice effectively with clients in the sociolegal environment. We define “forensic social work” to include not only a narrow group of victims and offenders involved in the juvenile justice and criminal justice settings, but all the individuals and families involved with family and social services, education, child welfare, mental health, and addictions programs, in which they are affected by federal and state laws and policies. Examples include social workers advocating for legal protections for undocumented workers, those assisting individuals and families in need as they apply for entitlements such as Medicare or Social Security disability benefits, and those providing mental health treatment to inmates with special needs in a correctional setting.-
