06 Feb 2026
Abstract
This edited book describes a number of projects and psychological services delivered in the community with justice-involved individuals and to forensic systems. Nearly all of these projects and services are outside the traditional scope of forensic psychology and correctional psychology. They offer a vision for the future of these areas as well as broadening awareness of what these services and projects are actually providing. Four domains are described: assessment, intervention, consultation, and education. Within those domains, the chapters cover university-based forensic assessment; intersectional identity in forensic assessment; trauma-informed assessment; school threat assessment; specialized measure development; Cognitive Therapy—Rehabilitation (CT-R), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma treatment with justice-involved individuals; developing a specialized program for intervention; forensic and law enforcement consultation; cross-systems mapping; treatment court development; innovative approaches to juvenile probation and parole; specialized doctoral, internship, and postdoctoral training; policy research and education; trauma-informed training of correctional officers; expert witness training; and developing and operating a company focused on risk appraisal of violence and other adverse outcomes in organizational contexts. Contributors are leaders in the field, providing detailed information about the development and delivery of their innovations and providing a model for students, trainees, practitioners, clinical administrators, and others interested in work in this area.
