Can someone advise to me if this book includes examples with varying races and both men and women? I mentor women of diverse backgrounds and races who are in prison. If this book is mostly examples of caucasian men, then it may not be worthwhile to me. It was suggested to me by someone who also mentors women in prison but it seemed wise to ask for additional input.

I work with women in the county jail -of all types - and it is a book about THINKING patterns and understanding how criminal behavior manifests as a result of mindsets.

I think you will find the last several chapters (case studies) very insightful. So far this has been the best resource I have discovered for understanding how to effectively mentor and teach in a jail setting. (less)

Hi, is this book suitable for a 14 year old? She is advanced in academic reading skills, however, I'm uncertain if this it too emotionally 'heavy' or potentially too sexually graphic. Thanks for your feedback.
