Paperback. Condición: Fair. A core text/reference for Internships, Practicums, and Field Placements in Psychology, Social Work, Counseling, and related helping disciplines. Acknowledging, anticipating, and addressing the everyday questions and concerns of interns, this text is designed to bridge the gap between academic coursework and the knowledge, skills, and emotional challenges that are found beyond the classroom. Throughout his years of teaching and professional experience, Brian N.

Paperback. Condición: Good. The basic premise of this text is that the criminal justice system is biased against the poor from start to finish - from the definintion of what a crime is through the processes of arrest, trial and sentencing.
