At some point in their careers, most nurses encounter patients who are directly or indirectly involved with the criminal justice system - whether on hospital wards where prisoners are receiving treatment whilst guarded by prison officers, in schools where children have a parent in prison, or in a GP practice where patients have substance misuse issues. This thought-provoking book offers an understanding of the challenges and opportunities of caring for those in contact with criminal justice. Written by a range of experts in the field, Nursing in Criminal Justice Services takes the reader along.
