“In the timely and thoughtful book, Working with Female Offenders, Dr. van Wormer provides a gender-
sensitive lens through which the reader can examine pathways to female criminality, a global perspective
on female crime and punishment, and innovative treatment approaches. This book is a must-have for any
student or professional who wishes to truly impact and empower the lives of female offenders.”
—David W. Springer, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin, School of
Social Work
Working with Female Offenders is the first book to combine the research and theory from social work,
counseling, and criminology to create a framework specific to correctional counseling with this population.
The gender-sensitive approach incorporates motivational enhancement from psychology, a strengths
perspective from social work, and restorative justice from criminal justice into its framework. van Wormer
uses the lenses of race, class, and gender to add further depth to this approach.
Featuring examples of successful, innovative programs for female offenders from the United States,
Canada, United Kingdom, and New Zealand, this practical book creates a strengths, empowerment, and
restorative model for counseling female offenders on anger management, communication, stress
management, and other issues.
In addition, this unique resource is filled with case examples, stories, and anecdotes from female prisoners
and correctional counselors, as well as sidebars on controversial topics about female offenders. Working
with Female Offenders contains easy-to-follow guidelines and evidence-based research on treatment
intervention protocols.
